Lydia Deetz on The Rocks: A Gothic Mocktail Fit for a Halloween Queen

For our next Halloween-inspired mocktail, we’re turning to the ultimate goth queen herself, Lydia Deetz from Beetlejuice. This mocktail is a tribute to her unique style—dark, mysterious, and with a touch of whimsy. Whether you’re planning a spooky movie night or throwing a costume party, Lydia Deetz on The Rocks will add a splash of gothic fun to your event.

Lydia Deetz, portrayed by Winona Ryder, is a beloved character known for her gothic style, dry humor, and ability to see ghosts. In Beetlejuice, Lydia’s connection with the spirit world makes her stand out as an icon of the supernatural. Like Lydia, this drink is bold, eccentric, and unforgettable—perfect for celebrating Halloween in style.

This dark and elegant mocktail captures Lydia’s goth spirit with striking butterfly pea flower ice cubes and a splash of citrus. Topped with Soirée’s signature sparkling drinks, it’s a refreshing, visually stunning beverage that’s as unique as Lydia herself.

• 15 butterfly pea flowers
• 2 cups boiling water
• 2 cups cold water
• 2-4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon
• 4 oz Soirée Teajito (a blend of watermelon, basil, chamomile, and mint)
• Green edible glitter (for that magical sparkle)

• If you prefer a sweeter option, swap Soirée Teajito for Soirée Marge-a-rita, with notes of passion fruit, guava, and rose.
• Garnish with gummy worms or candy eyeballs to enhance the spooky, playful theme.

1. Place butterfly pea flowers and boiling water in a jug and let them steep for 30 minutes.
2. Drain the flowers, pour the blue water into an ice cube tray, and freeze.
3. Freeze 2 cups of regular water into ice cubes.
4. Once the ice is frozen, blend the blue ice cubes in a high-speed blender, leaving a few larger chunks for texture.
5. Blend the regular ice separately.
6. Stack tall glasses halfway with regular ice, then top with the butterfly pea flower ice.
7. Add 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed citrus juice to each glass.
8. Top with more butterfly pea ice, then pour 4 oz of Soirée Teajito (or your favorite sparkling drink) over the top.
9. Garnish with a sprinkle of green edible glitter for a magical touch, stir, and enjoy!
