Ingredients

Scale

For the Lemonade Base

  • 4 cups of water
  • 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar

For the Color and Fizz

  • 1 teaspoon of activated charcoal powder (for the eerie black color)
  • 1 cup of soda water (for fizz)

Instructions

  1. Make the Lemonade Base: In a large pitcher, combine 4 cups of water, 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar dissolves completely to create a balanced sweet and tart lemonade base.
  2. Add the Magic Ingredient: Stir in 1 teaspoon of activated charcoal powder until the lemonade turns a deep, spooky black color, creating the signature eerie look of the Witches Brew.
  3. Add the Bubbles: Gently pour in 1 cup of soda water, stirring lightly to maintain the fizzy bubbles that add a refreshing sparkle to the drink.
  4. Prepare Your Garnish: Slice fresh lemons and set them aside to add a bright and fresh visual appeal when serving.
  5. Serve with a Spooky Touch: Fill glasses with ice, pour the Witches’ Brew Lemonade over the ice, and garnish each glass with a fresh lemon slice for a zesty finish.
  6. Add Halloween-Themed Decorations: For a fun and creepy effect, top the drinks with gummy worms or candy eyeballs to enhance the Halloween spirit and delight guests of all ages.

Notes

  • Adjust the sweetness by increasing or reducing the amount of sugar to suit your taste preferences.
  • This recipe is naturally non-alcoholic but can be turned into a mocktail or cocktail by adding optional spirits if desired.
  • Store any leftover lemonade in the refrigerator and consume it within 1 to 2 days for optimal freshness.
  • Be mindful of guests’ allergies; consider using sugar substitutes or alternative decorations if necessary.
  • For added flavor complexity, infuse the lemonade with herbs such as mint or spices like cinnamon by steeping them in the base before adding charcoal and soda water.
