- Gummy worms or eyeball candies (for garnish)
- Black sugar or red sugar (for rimming the glass)
Instructions

- Dip the rim into black or red sugar for a creepy effect.

Notes
- For a bubbling effect: Add a small piece of dry ice to each glass (handle with tongs and wait until it fully dissolves before drinking).
- For a darker drink: Swap orange juice for grape juice.
- Make it a punch: Multiply the recipe and serve in a cauldron with floating plastic spiders!
