What goes better with our Jack O’ Lantern Fruit Cups than these easy Orange Jack-O-Lantern Floats? Only two ingredients in this Halloween recipe and food craft. Make it as a kid’s party drink for your next gathering!
Orange Jack-O-Lantern Floats
We wanted to add a drink to go with our popular Jack O’ Lantern Fruit Cups. Our fruit cups are great Halloween treats because they are healhty. Send the kids out with something good before they come home full of sugar!
If you are hosting a party, however, these Easy Orange Jack-O-Lantern Floats are great for filling a crowd. They are really easy to make with only two ingredients – you’re welcome. Of course you can twist it up with changing your beverage to something Root Beer or even Mountain Dew as a base, but you then need to change your face. Maybe to a fun Frankenstein or goofy face.

Easy Orange Jack-O-Lantern Floats for Halloween
Ingredients
- Vanilla ice cream
- Orange soda
- Clear drinking cups
- Permanent marker
- Straws
- Optional: Sliced oranges
Instructions
If you are decorating your own cups, first prep them. You can do this days before as you do not want a fresh coat of permanent marker when you are serving a cold beverage.
First, using the black permanent marker, draw jack o lantern faces on the cups. (Here are some inspiring Jack-o-Lantern Faces.)
When you are ready to serve, place two scoops of vanilla ice cream in each cup.
Pour refrigerated orange soda over the top of the ice cream until the cup is full.
Serve and enjoy!
