Ingredients

• 3 cups Green apple soda or sparkling lemonade
• 1 cup Pineapple juice
• 1 ounce Blue curaçao (or orange curaçao with blue food coloring for alcohol-free version)
• 2 tablespoons Blackberry syrup
• 2 cups Crushed ice
• 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional garnish)
• 4 pieces Gummy worms or candy eyeballs

Directions

Step 1

Begin by filling four glasses halfway with crushed ice.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl or pitcher, combine the green apple soda (or sparkling lemonade) and pineapple juice. Stir gently to blend.

Step 3

In each glass, slowly pour 1/4 ounce of blue curaçao over the crushed ice. This will create a layered effect resembling swampy water. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute blue curaçao with orange curaçao and add a drop of blue food coloring to achieve the desired tint.

Step 4

Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of blackberry syrup into each glass. Allow it to sink to the bottom to create a murky effect.

Step 5

Top each glass with the soda-pineapple juice mixture, pouring slowly to avoid mixing the layers too much.

Step 6

Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an earthy touch, and add gummy worms or candy eyeballs for a spooky flair.

Step 7

Serve immediately with a straw or stir stick to let the guest mix the drink just before drinking for added fun!
