Five Halloween mocktails in ruby red, fresh green, deep purple, pumpkin orange and ghostly ivory - all without artificial food colouring. Easy alcohol-free recipes, natural colour fixes and clever make-ahead tips for a party you'll actually enjoy hosting.

There's something special about a bowl of deep-red punch glowing on the Halloween table, especially when it tastes bright and fruity rather than overly sweet. This Halloween punch serves ten and is mostly made ahead, so you're free to enjoy the party too.

One cranberry spritz, three moods: crisp and dry, juicy and fruit-forward, or completely alcohol-free. Pick the version that fits tonight — all three are built in the glass and ready in minutes.

One ruby-red pomegranate spritz, three very different finishes. Go crisp and tart with lime, bittersweet with Aperol, or soft and floral with elderflower — then use the same simple base to find your perfect pour.
