-Any kind of punch is also an option because you can find recipes for hundreds of different punches in just about every color of the rainbow
-If you have a black light, any cocktail that uses tonic water as the primary mixer will glow
-using plastic spiders, plastic eyeballs or plastic vampire teeth as a garnish will dress up any cocktail…be sure to warn your guests so nobody swallows them! You can also find recipes online for radish and olive eyeballs. Gummy worms or spiders also can be used for garnish.
-use syrups to decorate your glassware. Chocolate and strawberry tend to be the two favorites. Drizzle the syrup on the inside and on the rim of a frozen glass and place in the freezer ahead of time.
