GREEN GOBLIN HALLOWEEN COCKTAIL RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
Making this easy green Halloween cocktail is a breeze! To make this delicious cocktail, begin by adding a sugar coating to the rim of the glass. Then just combine the rum, pineapple juice, blue curacao syrup, and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker.
Serve: Strain the mixture into your sugar-rimmed glass and top it off with lemon-lime soda. Cheers to your perfect spooky green cocktail!
Prepare the Glass: Start by rimming your glass with black sanding sugar. Dip the rim in a bit of simple syrup, then roll it in the sugar until evenly coated.
Mix the Drink: In a cocktail shaker, combine dark rum, pineapple juice, Blue Curaçao syrup, and lemon juice. Add ice and shake for about 20 seconds.
Variations and Spooky Additions
If you want to make this Green Goblin cocktail even more fun and festive, try adding some spooky twists! For a truly spooky Halloween drink, toss in some gummy worms as a garnish to give it a creepy, crawly vibe. The colorful worms will float around in your glass or punch bowl, making this already fun drink even more eye-catching and perfect for Halloween parties.
Another idea is to serve the drink with a glowing ice cube or add a splash of tonic water to give it a subtle glow under black lights.
You could also create a bubbling cauldron – it’s a Halloween classic! Add a small piece of dry ice to a cauldron filled with warm water to create a steady stream of thick, foggy vapor. Or, for a drinkable green Halloween punch recipe, use a double-bowl method: place your punch in an inner bowl and surround it with warm water and dry ice chips in an outer bowl. This way, you get the foggy effect without the dry ice touching the drink itself, making it safe and spooky!
GREEN GOBLIN PUNCH – ALCOHOLIC HALLOWEEN PUNCH
Want to serve this goblin-green drink to a larger crowd? You can easily transform this cocktail into a spook-tacular green Halloween punch recipe! It’s a perfect Halloween drink recipe for parties, making sure every ghoul and goblin can enjoy a spooky drink.
Here’s how:
- Prepare a large batch by mixing the rum, pineapple juice, Blue Curaçao syrup, and lemon juice in a large pitcher or punch bowl. Right before serving, add lemon-lime soda to keep the fizz fresh.
- Rim each party cup with black sanding sugar for that extra Halloween flair.
- For an added spooky touch, toss in some lime sherbet to make it a frothy, bubbling cauldron of spooky fun!
This large batch version is ideal for your next Halloween party, especially when serving themed cocktails to a crowd.
You can then add a black sanding sugar rim to the cups and fill them as you go.
CAN THE GREEN GOBLIN BE MADE WITHOUT THE ALCOHOL?
Yes! This spooky Halloween cocktail recipe tastes just as good without the alcohol. Simply omit the rum for a non-alcoholic green Halloween punch that’s perfect for kids or adults who prefer booze-free festive drinks.
Tip: Blue Curaçao syrup (not to be confused with the liquor) is a non-alcoholic simple syrup that gives the drink its vibrant green color, so you can still achieve that eerie hue without the alcohol.

This looks like a fun, festive cocktail for Halloween. I don’t drink any more so I’ll have to make it without the alcohol.

Hi! As a recovering addict, I no longer drink either. However, I think this is quite good without the alcohol. If you make it, let me know what you think. I'd love a second opinion on the alcohol-free version.

Is lemon lime soda mean lemonade or soda water (i.e not sweetended)? I'm assuming it means lemonade and not flavoured sparkling water? - As i'm from UK not US

Hi Cait, Use a soda (pop) like Sprite or 7-Up. Sorry, I should have specified that and am editing it now.

Hi how many servings does the punch version recipe yield?

Hi Leslie! While it's been awhile since I've made this as a punch, I did try to figure it out for you. So if I did the math correctly (LOL), as close as I can figure, this recipe will make around 130 ounces. So if you have 4 ounce cups, it'll make 32.5 servings. If you use 8 ounce cups, you'll get around 16.25 servings from it. I hope this is correct!! Let me know how it goes!

Hi Sarah, Thanks for bringing this to my attention! Actually I made a big mistake and forgot to put the word 'syrup' with it in that sentence. So yes you are correct in that blue curacao liquor has alcohol in it, but the syrup I used does not. Also, this can be made with the Blue Curacao liquor for added taste and kick (but not for the kid-friendly version)!
