How to Make Jack-O’-Lantern Fizz

Prep mode (keeps screen active)

Decorate the cups

Stick the black jack-o’-lantern face stickers on clear cups so the bright orange drink really shows off.
Combine the liquids

Pour the orange soda, pineapple juice, mango nectar, and lime juice into a large pitcher or mixing bowl.
Stir very gently so everything mixes together without knocking too much fizz out of the soda.

Add ice and serve

Fill the decorated cups with ice cubes, then pour in the fizz right before serving so it stays bubbly.

Substitutions

Orange soda -> orange sparkling water: Swap the orange soda for orange flavored sparkling water to cut the sugar while still keeping the color and playful fizz.
Mango nectar -> peach nectar: Use peach nectar instead of mango for a softer, more floral fruit flavor that still looks beautifully golden orange.
Pineapple juice -> passion fruit juice: Swap in passion fruit juice to give the drink a tangier tropical punch while keeping the bright orange Halloween look.

Tips

Chill everything well first: Make sure the soda and juices are very cold, so the ice melts slowly and the fizz lasts longer.
Add ice to cups, not pitcher: Keep the pitcher ice free, and load each cup with ice instead, so the flavors stay bright and not watered down.
Serve in clear cups or glasses: Clear cups show off the pumpkin faces and the bright orange color, which makes the drink extra fun for kids.
Stir gently right before pouring: Give the pitcher one gentle stir just before you pour, so the lime and tropical juices stay evenly mixed.

FAQ

Can I make this jack-o’-lantern fizz ahead of time?: You can mix the pineapple juice, mango nectar, and lime juice up to one day ahead and chill them. Wait to add the orange soda until 5 to 10 minutes before serving, so the drink stays nicely fizzy.
How can I make this drink less sweet?: Use half orange soda and half orange sparkling water to cut the sweetness without losing the bubbles. You can also add an extra tablespoon of lime juice for more tart balance.
What if the color is not bright enough?: Add a little more mango nectar to deepen the orange shade without making the drink too sharp. Avoid adding dark juices, which can muddy the fun pumpkin color.
How do I scale this recipe for a party?: Use a simple ratio: two parts orange soda, one part pineapple juice, one part mango nectar, plus a splash of lime. Multiply each amount based on how many cups you want to serve, and mix in a large drink dispenser.
