Tomorrow is Halloween and if you need a last-minute drink for a party look no further! Halloween is one of my favorite Holidays ever and you can totally make this drink ahead of time. Just combine everything minus the soda in a serving bowl the night before and the day of the party just add ice and soda to it.
You can even make this drink look like a swamp by adding some green sherbet to the top of it. Serve it in a fun spooky glass. The glass I purchased at Spirit Halloween a couple of years ago.
It can also be served in just a regular punch bowl or pitcher and people can help themselves.

What Ingredients do I need?
Lime Jello - you do not need to make this according to the directions on the back of the jello package. Once you add in more liquids the jello will not become thick.
Pineapple juice is a refreshing and delicious drink that is enjoyed by many people around the world. One of the most well-known benefits of pineapple juice is that it contains high levels of vitamin C and manganese, which are both important for maintaining a healthy immune system and promoting good bone health
Lime Flavored Soda - One of the most popular lime flavored sodas is Sprite, which has a bright and bubbly taste that is loved by people of all ages. Another popular choice is 7-Up, which has a similar taste profile to Sprite but with a slightly different balance of flavors.
Chilled Vodka - use your favorite flavored vodka here just make sure it's not a colored vodka it will turn the drink a color that isn't green. ha! A plain Vodka, Whipped Vodka, or Vanilla vodka would be really good

Kourtney says
I want to chill this but won’t the jello turn to actual jello? Can I double the recipe?
Karri says
Hi! How did you get it to glow?
Jenna says
Rum would be great. I would make sure it is clear though. The dark rum would make it funny color. 🙂
Jenn says
HI, I was just wondering if you could substitute white rum for vodka? Or if that would make it too strong?
Jenna says
No, it turns it green.
Z says
What is the gelatin for? Is it going to make the drink thick like jello?
Jenna says
Yeah you can.
