Can I make this in advance?

You can prep the vodka and grenadine together, but always add the soda at the last minute. This keeps the fizz alive and the flavor fresh.

What if I don’t have green sanding sugar?

Use regular sugar mixed with a drop of green food coloring, or swap for purple or black sanding sugar for a different spooky effect.

Yes! Replace vodka with sparkling grape juice or lemon-lime soda. It will still look and taste festive without the alcohol.

Definitely. Just multiply the recipe and serve in a large bowl. Add syringes around the edges for that eerie party vibe.

Sweet, fizzy, and spooky, the Drunk Witch shines with vodka, grape soda, grenadine, a green sugar rim, and a dramatic grenadine syringe garnish.
