Doesn’t Halloween have a way of turning the ordinary into something magical? Streets that look plain on a Tuesday suddenly glow with carved pumpkins, porch lights, and the occasional plastic skeleton waving from the window. We, at mainelove, believe that your drinks should get the same treatment. The perfect Halloween mocktail doesn’t just sit there quietly in a glass. It should be swirly, fizzy, and make you smile even before the first sip!
Each can of mainelove already has its own character, and with a few simple additions, you can turn them into potions fit for a spooky night in. All you need is a little creativity and a few things from the pantry, and you’ll have a lineup of mocktails that make the candy bowl look less like the main character. And yes, cauldrons are completely optional (but highly recommended!)
Witch’s Mist: A pale, foggy potion that looks like it bubbled up in a cauldron.
Ingredients: mainelove Perfectly Still ½ cup apple cider Squeeze of lemon juice Dry ice (or smoking rosemary sprig) for effect
Steps:
Stir together the cider and lemon juice with mainelove.
Drop in a tiny piece of dry ice or torch a rosemary sprig for that witchy fog.
Tip: Serve it in a black mug for the full effect.
Vampire’s Kiss Fizz: Dark, dramatic, and just sweet enough like a kiss you shouldn’t trust.
Rim your glass with lemon juice and dip it into red sugar “blood.”
Muddle the blackberries in the bottom of the glass.
Pour in pomegranate juice, then top with mainelove Wild Blueberry Lemon with Bubbles.
Candy Corn Elixir: Layered, colorful, and almost too pretty to drink. Almost.
Ingredients: mainelove With Bubbles ⅓ cup orange juice ⅓ cup pineapple juice 2 tbsp coconut cream
Steps:
Pour orange juice into the glass first.
Slowly add pineapple juice over the back of a spoon to keep layers.
Float the coconut cream on top.
Add a light pour of mainelove with bubbles to lift the colors.
Graveyard Smash: Creepy on the outside, refreshing once you take the plunge.
Ingredients mainelove Blackberry Grapefruit with Bubbles ¼ cup lime juice Handful of crushed blackberries, ½ tsp activated charcoal (optional, for color), and gummy worms for garnish
Steps:
Mix lime juice, blackberries, and charcoal powder in a shaker.
Pour over ice and top with mainelove Blackberry Grapefruit with Bubbles.
Let those gummy worms crawl over the edge of the glass.
Pumpkin Patch Spritz: A fall hug in a glass, with just enough sparkle to feel festive.
Whisk pumpkin purée with maple syrup and spice until smooth.
Spoon into a glass, then gently pour in mainelove Raspberry Lime with Bubbles.
Stir with a cinnamon stick and sip away.
That’s it, our pretties! Whether you’re hosting a haunted house or just watching spooky movies in pajamas, these mocktails bring a little Halloween to your glass. mainelove does the heavy lifting with fizz and flavor, all you need to do is add the fun.
I know what you're thinking. It's water. But something about cracking open a can instead of twisting a cap makes me feel like I'm at a very hydrated party. 10/10, no notes
Not overly sweet, not weirdly medicinal like some seltzers that shall remain nameless. Just crisp, clean bubbles doing exactly what bubbles are supposed to do: make me feel fancy
I've dated other seltzers. I've ghosted La Croix. But this one? This one gets it. The perfect amount of fizz, zero guilt, and it doesn't judge me for drinking three in one sitting
This seltzer doesn't just fizz, it performs. Cracked one open at 2pm on a random Tuesday and suddenly felt like I was in a commercial for my own life. 5 stars, would hydrate dramatically again
