I'm allergic to pineapple, so I substituted orange juice instead. It turned out great!

This witches' brew is a bit too strong for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less vodka next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my witches' brew turned out really watery. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I'm not a big fan of green drinks, but this witches' brew is actually really good. It's sweet and refreshing, and the green color is actually kind of cool.

This witches' brew is a great way to use up leftover candy. I always have a bunch of candy left over after Halloween, so this is a great way to use it up.
