How to Make Beetlejuice Brew

Follow these easy steps to create your own spooky and delicious Beetlejuice Brew:

Prepare the Base
In a large pitcher or punch bowl, pour 3 cups of pomegranate juice and 2 cups of cranberry juice. These bold, dark juices set the eerie tone for the brew.
Add the Fizz
Slowly add 2 cups of lemon-lime soda (or ginger ale for a spicier kick) to the juice blend. The carbonation will give the drink an effervescent texture that feels magical.
Infuse with Citrus
Squeeze the juice of 2 fresh limes into the mix. Then, slice 1 orange and add the slices into the pitcher for a pop of color and flavor.
Spice it Up
To give your Beetlejuice Brew a warming, autumnal flavor, sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and ¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Stir well until the spices are fully dissolved.
Add Fresh Fruit
For extra texture and flavor, add 1 cup of fresh blueberries and a handful of frozen blackberries. The blackberries will act like spooky “floating eyeballs” in the brew, adding a playful touch to your presentation.
Chill
Refrigerate the brew for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the drink to chill. You can also serve it over ice if you’re short on time.
Serve and Garnish
Serve the brew in clear glasses to show off the beautiful, dark color. Garnish with a few additional berries or a slice of lime for extra flair. For an extra spooky touch, add dry ice (optional, with care) to create a foggy effect!
