Maleficent Halloween Cocktail

Maleficent 2 hits theaters this month, and to celebrate, we have an absolutely gorgeous Maleficent inspired cocktail!

My mom says it looks “poisonous,” and even though it’s named after a vengeful fairy, I promise this sparkling purple Maleficent drink is perfectly delicious!

Plus, it is one of the most amazingly looking Halloween cocktails I’ve ever seen! It literally sparkles!

What Makes it Sparkle?

The secret to the sparkle in our Maleficent cocktail is this silver cocktail shimmer powder, which adds a magical look to drinks with just a pinch!

But don’t worry! If you don’t have any edible glitter on hand or time to buy some, this drink is still fabulously fun without it!

Maleficent Cocktail Ingredients

I’ve included affiliate links for your convenience in re-creating this recipe; disclosure policy available here.

  • 1 oz vodka
  • 1/2 oz lime juice
  • 2 oz raspberry liqueur
  • 2 oz Sprite
  • 1 tsp. silver cake shimmer
  • 1 drop purple gel food coloring (we love gel food colorings because they create such vibrant colors!)

Bartender’s Tools Used

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Cocktail glasses

shimmery purple drink inspired by Disney Maleficent

Instructions

  1. Combine your liquors, silver cake shimmer dust, food coloring, and lime juice in a large cocktail shaker.
  2. Shake for about 5 seconds to mix, then pour into a cocktail glasse filled with ice. Top with Sprite or similar lemon lime soda.

TIP: You don’t need fancy tools or a strainer for this recipe – during my bartending days I preferred stainless steel Boston Shakers (2-piece simple cocktail shaker cup set).

How to make a pitcher:

An average pitcher will hold about 4 servings, depending on the size.

To make enough for a group, simply quadruple the ingredient amounts. If you still have room in the pitcher, you can increase as needed.

TIP: If you’re going to make a pitcher’s worth, wait to stir the shimmer powder into each individual drink instead of adding to the pitcher. That way the shimmer won’t settle to the bottom of the pitcher and not make it into each drink.

Even though it's inspired by a vengeful fairy, this beautiful shimmering Maleficent Halloween Cocktail is anything but scary! Our delicious purple Maleficent drink is a show-stopper and guaranteed to be the hit of any party!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a non-alcoholic version?

While the original recipe is alcoholic, you can make it kid-friendly with a few simple swaps:

  • Replace vodka with more Sprite
  • Use grenadine in place of raspberry liquor

You’ll still get that gorgeous color and everyone can enjoy this sparkly purple Halloween punch!

Can I rim the glass with sugar?

While this Halloween drink is perfectly tasty and eye-catching as is, you can absolutely add a festive touch with sparkly cocktail sugar.

You might check out Black Pearl Cocktail Sugar from Snowy River Cocktails. Here’s an example on one of the cocktails from their blog:

Why does my drink look black?

I’ve gotten this question from readers saying that their drink turned out such a dark purple that it almost looked black. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, because it should taste the same and still looks pretty creepy!

The color of your drink may vary depending on the brand of raspberry liquor used, as well as your food coloring. Different brands of these products may have different shades, and may create different purples, from reddish to indigo, to almost black.

You could also play around with adding more of the mixers (soda and lime juice) to lighten things up a bit.

    How did you get it so clear and lavender? Raspberry liqueur is a dark reddish color, add in the food coloring and it turned black. 🙁

      I start small with the food coloring – one drop at a time. It’s also possible that the brand of raspberry liquor could make a difference too. In any case, a dark purple/black drink is still fitting for a Maleficent theme 🙂

        So what brand will make it the right color?

          I like to use ones that tend to be brighter red, like Razmatazz or Raspberry Pucker. Then you have some wiggle room with the purple food coloring to get it just right. In my video, I made it without purple food coloring to see how that would turn out. It looks darker in the video than it did in real life, but not as purple as my photos. Either way, tastes awesome and looks creepy!

            For this recipe you definitely are going to want to use the Dekuypers/puckers raspberry or some generic that’s clear. I made this batch today and razzmatazz makes it too dark (it’s still fitting though like she said because it’s Halloween) but I really wanted this color because I was adding tonic to make it glow in black lights! I’m gonna grab some more schnapps- I’ll let you know if it turns out!!

    How would I make this recipe larger to make a big pitcher drink? I’m filling up a caldron as a punch bowl with this drink

      Hi Kate, I would just multiply the ingredient amount. It doesn’t have to be exact…you can kind of eyeball the amounts as you mix and taste to make sure it’s how you like it. If possible, I’d skip adding the ice while it’s in the punchbowl and have that separate. That way things don’t get watered down. Hope this helps!
