MAKE IT CUTE

Delish drinks

Add a punch of foamy perfection to your party with sherbet. Pour ½ gallon of fruit juice into a large punch bowl, then add 1 ½ quarts of sherbet. Finally, slowly pour in 1 liter of soda. You can mix up the flavor combos any way you like. For a classic red punch, opt for fruit punch juice, rainbow sherbet and lemon-lime soda. For a creepy green drink, go for lemonade or pineapple juice, lime sherbet and ginger-ale of lemon-lime soda.

Sparkle and shine

Everything’s more fun—and feels more grown-up—when you add some carbonation, right? If you’re celebrating with a small group of friends, ask Mom ‘n’ Dad to pick up a few bottles of sparkling juice (I love cider in the fall, but lemonade is a hit, too!). Or, pick a favorite flavor profile and add in ginger-ale or club soda.

Crazy cubes

You can make ice cubes out of anything liquid-y. For an elegant touch, freeze fruit (think strawberries, blueberries and raspberries) in plain water. To add a dash of color, try freezing fruit juice, or snagging ice trays with different cube shapes. For a way-creepy effect, try freezing gummi worms into your cubes, leaving the top sticking out. Wicked, right?
