Stir up some Halloween beverages that are as bewitching as the rest of your menu. Omit the vodka for a nonalcoholic version so the kids can have some, too! —Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 8 medium kiwifruit, peeled and quartered
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1 cup vodka, optional
  • 1 liter ginger ale, chilled
  • Ice cubes

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring sugar and water to a boil. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved; set aside to cool.
  2. Place the kiwi, mint and sugar syrup in a blender; cover and process until blended. Pour into a large pitcher; stir in vodka if desired. Refrigerate until chilled.
  3. Just before serving, stir in ginger ale. Serve over ice.
Editor's Note: To make each broom, cut 1 green shoestring licorice into 1-in. lengths. Arrange around end of 1 pretzel rod to form broom bristles; tightly wrap bristles with 1 piece black shoestring licorice, tucking in ends to secure.
