10 minWant to hear kids shriek with glee at your Halloween party? Hand them a glass of this.
Mashed strawberries turn the whole drink a gruesome blood-red, while fizzy ginger ale and tart lemonade keep it refreshing. Drop raisins and blueberries into each glass and watch the carbonation carry them to the surface like bugs crawling through the “blood."
It takes 10 minutes, zero cooking, and the gross-out factor is absolutely through the roof. Every sip has a chewy little surprise floating in it.
Pro Tips
- Chill all ingredients beforehand so the ginger ale stays fizzy longer
- Add the ginger ale right before serving so the bubbles are at full strength for maximum bug-floating action
- Freeze blueberries into ice cubes for an extra creepy look as they slowly emerge
- Serve in clear glasses so everyone can watch the bugs rise
Ingredients

In a large pitcher, mix the strawberry mash, lemonade and ginger ale.

Pour the liquid over the bugs, then sit back and watch the bugs and scum rise to the top of each glass.
