4. Bloody Shirley Temple Drinks
These bloody Shirley Temple drinks are as delicious as they are creepy. The creep factor comes from a plastic syringe that is filled with “blood” (which is actually grenadine). You just pour Sprite over ice and add a squirt of grenadine to give it a bloody look. Then fill your toy syringes with grenadine and kids can have a blast mixing their own bloody drinks.
