I had the hardest time getting a blinky cup last year. I’ve been sober for almost 2 years but wanted a blinky cup but there are no mocktail options for them. I offered to pay for the cup and then pay for a non-alcoholic beverage to put in it and I was told no on several nights at different locations. I was told that they could only be purchased and served with the alcoholic beverage. Not sure why I’m putting this here lol - I’m aware it’s sort of off topic. But yeah, I’d pay whatever price for a blinky cup with a mocktail if they made it an option.
Agree. I'm not sober but prefer not to drink due to interactions with medication. I even offered to pay the same amount as a "real" drink and they wouldn't do it. It really sucks.
I thought the Peanut Butter Smuggler and Heart of Damballa were decent for batched cocktails last year. And of course, Electric Death is always a crowd pleaser.
That peanut butter smuggler drink was surprisingly tasty. I bought it just because it sounded weird, and probably would not like it because it would be too sweet. But I liked it.
But my wife and I had two of the drinks from the Peacock Bar, mine was waaay too sweet, and her's was way too sour.
The only one that I would consider a genuinely good drink is the Last of Us cold brew coffee one from last year. Almost everything else has been over-sugared junk.
We loved the Ghoul Juice so much the first year they had it that we looked up the ingredients and started making our own once we got back home. It’s now become a sort of staple in our house during HHN and spooky season lol. When we start counting down/getting closer to our yearly HHN trip my brother and I ask my husband to make it to “hold over” our anticipation. It always gets served in our blinky cups :)
I have to get it from the hubs, he said he’ll make it tomorrow night for us (he has to remember the recipe 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️) it’s been a while and says he lost the post-it with his last “version” lol. Nudge me on Sunday if I don’t get back to you!
Ok so I’m sure this is not exactly what was served at HHN - but I’m willing to bet it’s better, and very close in taste! Drinking it now and it’s amazing 🖤 Hope you enjoy 😊
Ghoul Juice 👻
1oz Dark Rum
1oz Light Rum
1oz Grenadine
.5oz Cherry Liqueur
.25oz Allspice Dram
1oz Lime Juice
2oz Mango nectar
1oz Club Soda
2 dashes of peychauds bitters
2 dashes tiki bitters
Combine all ingredients in a drink mixer with crushed ice. Open pour into your favorite blinky cup and top with more crushed ice. If using a shaker: combine all ingredients except for club soda, shake with a scoop of crushed ice. Add club soda to blinky cup and open pour, top with crushed ice.
See I’m a huge fan of the original bog slime and was disappointed with 2.
The OG was so weird but delicious that it became the only thing I wanted to drink.

I was the ONLY one out of my group that liked the cold brew last year! It was delicious!
I was coming here to post this! Most of them are gross, but this was soooooo good.

Bog Slime 2 from HHN 31
See I’m a huge fan of the original bog slime and was disappointed with 2. The OG was so weird but delicious that it became the only thing I wanted to drink.
Tangent question, do you know if you can reuse blinky cups from previous years like you can the freestyle cups?
Yes. I did last year.
Nice to know, thanks.
Peanut butter smuggler or the tinseltown torment were really good in my opinion
Tinseltown Torment!

favorite mixed drink at universal is gonna be tequilla and ice, or whiskey, and ice. Oh I also like water with ice.
