Halloween Drinks for Kids
In the fall, we love all things Halloween. Some of our favorite Halloween Drinks are recipes like Vampire Drinks, Bat Brew Punch, and Monster Mash. These kid-friendly Halloween drinks are a fun way to serve drinks at any Halloween party.
These silly Halloween drinks are more of a craft than a drink recipe, but they are so much fun to create. You can really let your imagination carry you away with the endless possibilities for Halloween character drinks. The best part is filling your creation up with colorful liquid and watching it come to life.
Are you ready to make these fun Halloween cups? Let’s make sure you have everything you need…
Supplies
- Black Vinyl Adhesive Sheets, or for smaller kids try using adhesive foam paper. The backing is easier to peel.
- Gauze
- Clear Cups – You could use glass cups like these fun milk cups or plastic cups. Plastic ones would be perfect for parties.
Equipment Needed
Glue (only for the mummy) – like 3-in-1 advanced craft glue
Instructions
Cut out shapes for different types of Halloween Characters
Ghosts
Cut out ovals and circles from the adhesive vinyl
Make ghost faces by adding eyes and a mouth to your cups
Frankenstein
Cut out a Frankenstein hairpiece by cutting a rectangle from the adhesive and then cutting triangle shapes from one side.
Cut smaller rectangles for the eyes and skinny strips from the adhesive vinyl for the mouth
Stick the hairpiece at the top of the cup
Use the smaller rectangles for eyes
Use long and short strips to make a mouth that resembles stitches
Jack-O-Lantern
Cut-out triangles and mouths from the adhesive vinyl
Make a pumpkin face from the stickers
Mummy
Cut out eye shapes from the adhesive vinyl. Any shape will work for this character.
Stick eyes on the cup
Add little dabs of craft glue to the cups
Wrap the cup in gauze
Tips and Tricks
Remember, the shapes don’t have to be perfect. Mine certainly are not. My triangles do not match, and my mummy eyes are a cross between a circle, an oval, and a square. Kids are so creative. You’ll be amazed at the silly faces they make.

What to Serve With
FAQs
Can I Make the Party Drinks Ahead of Time?
I would suggest making the cups ahead of time and setting them out near a punch bowl or drink, which coordinates with the character on the cup. People can pour their drinks and watch their characters come to life.
