I have a LONG list of reasons why October is the best month ever.
1. The Walking Dead
2. Reign and the Vampire Diaries
3. The leaves changing color
4.Decorating for Halloween
5. Clearing out my liquor cabinet for making Halloween and Fall cocktails
6. Wearing layers. Leggings, tunics, long cover ups, and boots!
7. Getting high off the Fall scented candles at Bath and Body Works
8. Picking out my pumpkins in the garden
9. Baked goods with pumpkin in them. Seriously, my Pinterest feed is covered in that.
10. Did I mention the Walking Dead comes back on?
There’s probably more, but I think you get the point.
Do you like my glass? I got that at Spirit Halloween a couple of years ago. The green spider on the glass goes really well with the green cocktail doesn’t it? I’m not suggesting you go out and buy the glass to go a long with the cocktails. Any type of martini glass will be fine.
To make this cocktail just dissolve the gelatin in a large bowl with boiling water until you can see no more of gelatin mixture. Let that cool and add in the pineapple juice, lime soda and vodka. The vodka is optional for the kiddos. Serve over ice or with a black and white striped straw. Some black licorice would be a fun garnish with this drink as well.

Can you make this a day in advance and chill it?
Can you make this a day in advance to chill?
Yeah you can.
What is the gelatin for? Is it going to make the drink thick like jello?
No, it turns it green.
HI, I was just wondering if you could substitute white rum for vodka? Or if that would make it too strong?
Rum would be great. I would make sure it is clear though. The dark rum would make it funny color. 🙂
Hi! How did you get it to glow?
I want to chill this but won’t the jello turn to actual jello? Can I double the recipe?
No it will not. See the video on how to make it in the post.
Want to make this for a Halloween party but I want to make it in a bit like mason jar dispenser pitcher, would you recommend just doubling the ingredients?? Also can i make this the night before? Does the jello harder it? The video wasn’t informative enough I’m sorry.
Not it does not harden.
Okay so to make this recipe in a mason jar dispenser pitcher would you just double the ingredients?!
I would just double. It makes quite a lot of servings.
Hi, thank you for the recipe! I am making it right now for a Halloween party! I was wondering if you had any recommendations on what flavored vodka might be good in it?! Thank you again!

I just use a plain vodka.
