Kids lose their minds every time I surprise them with these spooky treats. I love how they combine the best parts of Halloween with everyone’s favorite fizzy goodness. They’re so easy that even my most impatient little goblins can help make them!
These floats are perfect for Creative Halloween Ideas when you want maximum spook factor.

These silly little drinks always become the star of our Halloween party spread! Trust me, once you see how simple these Jack-O-Lantern treats are, you’ll be hooked!
DIY Jack-O-Lantern Cups for Extra Charm
I absolutely love turning boring clear cups into adorable pumpkin masterpieces for maximum Halloween vibes! My secret weapon is using black markers to draw the goofiest jack-o-lantern faces possible.
I like how each cup develops its own silly personality through my wonky artwork. My kids always crack up at my artistic attempts, especially my lopsided triangle eyes! I’ve discovered that imperfect faces make the cups even more charming and endearing.
My Favorite Face-Drawing Techniques
My go-to method involves starting with simple triangle eyes because they’re nearly foolproof for beginners! I love adding different mouth shapes to give each pumpkin its own unique expression.
My favorite faces include surprised looks, winking expressions, and totally goofy grins that make everyone giggle. I like experimenting with different eye sizes to create baby pumpkins and mama pumpkins! The best part is that there’s absolutely no wrong way to draw these faces.
Taking Your Cup Game to the Next Level
I’ve learned that adding extra details like crooked eyebrows makes these cups absolutely hilarious! My kids love helping me draw tiny pumpkin stems on the cup rims. I like using different line thicknesses to make some faces bold and others more delicate.
My favorite trick is drawing matching faces so each guest gets their own pumpkin twin! These decorated cups become keepsakes that my family saves long after Halloween ends completely.
How to Make Jack-O-Lantern Floats
I’m totally obsessed with these spooky floats are to assemble together! My first step is always drawing those adorable pumpkin faces on clear plastic cups. I love getting creative with different expressions, from scary scowls to silly surprised looks!
My kids always want to help with the face-drawing, which leads to hilarious results. I like letting them go wild with their artistic pumpkin personalities and creative ideas.
The sherbet-scooping part is where I get most excited about this whole delicious process! I love how the bright orange sherbet looks like perfect little pumpkin bellies floating around.
My technique involves adding generous scoops because more sherbet means more Halloween happiness for everyone!
I like watching the sherbet bob around like tiny pumpkins in a magical orange sea. My favorite moment is when the sherbet starts to melt slightly and creates swirls.
The final assembly step is where these floats become absolutely magical and totally Instagram-worthy! I love slowly pouring the fizzy orange soda over the sherbet for maximum bubbling excitement.
My kids always cheer when the soda creates that perfect foamy top that looks spooky! I like adding colorful Halloween sprinkles as the grand finale for extra festive charm.
My favorite part is serving these goofy drinks and watching everyone’s delighted reactions immediately! These floats always make our Halloween celebrations feel extra special and memorable for years.

Jack-O-Lantern Floats
Ingredients
- Halloween Sprinkles
- 2-3 Scoops Orange Sherbet
- Orange Soda

- Scoop in the Sherbet: Add 2–3 generous scoops of orange sherbet into the cup. This will be the creamy, fruity base of your float.
- Pour in the Fizz: Slowly top it off with orange soda. Pouring gently will help create that foamy, floaty layer without overflowing.
