Make Your Halloween Drinks Look Pinterest-Worthy

The easiest way to make a simple drink look spectacular is with presentation.

Try these tricks:

Use clear glasses
Layered drinks look much more impressive when the colors are visible.

Create spooky rims
Dip the rim in lemon juice or syrup, then coat it with colored sugar.

Freeze fruit into ice cubes
Blackberries, blueberries, cherries, orange pieces, and mint leaves work beautifully.

Use dramatic garnishes
Rosemary can look like a witch’s herb, while citrus peels can be twisted into creepy shapes.

Don’t overdecorate
One or two strong Halloween elements usually look better than filling the glass with decorations.
