Frankenstein Fizz Mocktail Recipe

This Frankenstein Fizz Mocktail is bright green, fruity, and fun. I love how easy it is to make with just a handful of ingredients and common kitchen tools.

Equipment

• Cocktail shaker: I use this to mix all the liquids smoothly and chill them.
• Martini glass or any serving glass: I like martini glasses for a fancy look, but honestly, any glass works.
• Measuring jigger or small measuring cup: Measuring the right amounts is important, so I keep this handy.
• Strainer: If my shaker has no built-in strainer, a small mesh strainer works well for pouring.
• Spoon or stirring stick: Sometimes I need this to mix in color or syrup evenly.
• Ice: I fill my shaker halfway with ice to help chill the drink quickly.

Ingredients

• 2 oz pineapple juice
• 1 oz lemon-lime soda
• 1 oz simple syrup (adjust for sweetness)
• 0.5 oz blue curaçao syrup (non-alcoholic)
• 2-3 drops green food coloring
• Ice
• Fresh pineapple slice or maraschino cherry (optional, for garnish)

All the flavors blend together for a sweet, tart, and tropical taste. Pineapple juice makes it fruity, blue curaçao gives it color and a citrus note, and the green food coloring makes the drink look spooky and fun for Halloween.

Instructions

• Add ice to the cocktail shaker until it’s about halfway full.
• Pour in the pineapple juice, simple syrup, and blue curaçao syrup.
• Add the lemon-lime soda gently to avoid too much fizz.
• Drop in the green food coloring and close the shaker tightly.
• Shake well for about 10 seconds so the colors and flavors mix.
• Strain the mixture into a martini glass or your chosen glass.
• Garnish the drink with a pineapple slice or a maraschino cherry, if you like.

I shake gently so the soda keeps its fizz, and I always strain well to get a smooth, colorful drink in my glass. The garnish adds a fun touch and a bit more flavor.

Notes

I’ve found that using fresh pineapple juice tastes best, but canned juice works too. If I want a sweeter drink, I just add a little more simple syrup.

For a deeper green color, I add another drop of food coloring but start small since it spreads quickly. I use blue curaçao syrup instead of the alcoholic version to keep it family-friendly.

If I want bubbles, I always add the soda at the end to keep it fizzy. Sometimes I chill my glass first for an extra cold mocktail.

If serving at a party, I set up a garnish station so friends can add their favorite toppings. Mixing ahead works, but I wait to put in the soda and ice until right before serving to keep it fresh.

Tasting Notes

When I take my first sip of the Frankenstein Fizz Mocktail, I notice the bright, zesty taste from the citrus right away. The lemon-lime flavor makes it feel refreshing and light, perfect for parties.

There’s a little bit of fizz that tingles on my tongue. I like how the green color fits in with Halloween cocktails.

It reminds me of classic monster movies and spooky decorations. The drink always looks fun in a glass, especially next to other Halloween cocktail options.

Here’s what stands out to me:

• Color: Bright green, great for a Halloween theme
• Flavor: Tart, sweet, with a hint of fizz
• Texture: Light, bubbly, and smooth
• Aroma: Fresh citrus scent

I think the sweetness is just right, not too strong. The mix of lemon, lime, and fizz makes it taste almost like a soda, but with a special twist.

I enjoy how simple this mocktail is to drink. It goes well with snacks and treats at Halloween parties.

Even people who don’t like sweet drinks may find it tasty. Drinking the Frankenstein Fizz Mocktail always makes me feel like I’m celebrating something special.

It stands out among other Halloween cocktails for its color and fun vibe.

Substitute

Sometimes, I just want to shake things up or, honestly, I’m missing an ingredient or two. So, here are a few swaps I reach for to make the Frankenstein Fizz Mocktail work with whatever’s in my kitchen.

Ingredient Substitutes:

• Lime juice: If I’m out, I’ll just go with lemon juice. It’s got a similar tang, maybe a bit brighter.
• Club soda: Lemon-lime soda works in a pinch and, yeah, it’s sweeter and fizzier.
• Green food coloring: If green’s missing, I’ll mix a drop of blue and a couple drops of yellow. Not perfect, but it gets the job done.

Equipment Alternatives:

• Shaker: No shaker? A jar with a lid is honestly just as good for mixing.
• Strainer: I’ll use a spoon to hold back the ice if I can’t find a strainer.

Instructions for Substituting:

• You can swap the citrus base—try lemon or even orange juice, just keep the amount the same.
• The rest of the steps are basically the same, just use your new ingredient or whatever tool you’ve got.
• If you’re using soda, I’d stir gently instead of shaking so you don’t lose all those bubbles.

I like to mix and match until something tastes (and looks) good to me. Honestly, that’s what makes the mocktail fun every single time.
