It typically combines bold flavors like rum, vodka, or a combination of spirits with fruit juices, soda, and sometimes a splash of something sweet, like grenadine or a fruit punch base. The drink often gets a Halloween twist with its color, garnishes, and the inclusion of fun, spooky elements like gummy worms, eyeball ice cubes, or dry ice for a smoky effect. This punch is usually served in large bowls or pitchers, making it ideal for serving groups, and its vibrant color—often orange, purple, or blood red—adds to the eerie vibe. It's a playful, delicious drink that helps set the mood for a Halloween celebration.
Ingredients
How to Mix
Tip the cherry juice, orange peel, chilli, cinnamon sticks, cloves and ginger into a large saucepan. Simmer for 5 mins, then turn off the heat. Leave to cool, then chill for at least 4 hrs, or up to 2 days – the longer you leave it the more intense the flavours. If serving to young children, take the chilli out after a few hours. When you’re ready to serve, pour the juice into a jug. Serve in glass bottles or glasses and pop a straw in each. If you're adding vodka, do so at this stage. Dangle a fangs sweet from each glass.
