Wiggly Worm Slush Fizz
If Halloween had an official candy, it would probably be gummy worms, and this drink lets them steal the spotlight.
It looks slimy in the best possible way with the worms crawling around the sides of the glass and floating in the bright green “slime” (aka Gatorade Green Apple).
