This Halloween party punch is the perfect option for a haunted look without much effort. You can use any cocktail or mocktail recipe you like with these fun lychee eyeballs!
Ingredients You’ll Need
The non-alcoholic Halloween punch is made with a simple combination of pure cranberry juice and ginger ale. (You can also use ginger beer if you prefer.) The flavor is easy to customize. If you’re not a fan of ginger, you can swap this for lemon-lime soda. (Which kids might prefer if you’re serving a non-alcoholic punch.) Or use plain sparkling water and sweeten the cranberry juice with honey to taste. You can also sweeten this with apple cider or pineapple juice. Adults can add vodka or white rum to turn it into a cocktail! Cranberry juice gives this recipe a tart flavor and deep red hue without relying on artificial food colorings. Give it a fun name, like Witch’s Brew, and set a bowl of dry ice nearby to create a spooky smoke around it.
How to Make Halloween Punch
In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine 1 part cranberry juice with 4 parts ginger ale. For example, if you want to make 5 cups of punch, you’ll use 1 cup of cranberry juice plus 4 cups of ginger ale. This recipe is easy to scale, so double or triple the batch as needed. (You’ll need to make a lot to fill a large punch bowl!) Next, you’ll need to make the Lychee eyeballs. Open a can of lychees and drain away the juice. Stuff a fresh blueberry into each lychee to create a fast, fruity eyeball. Serve the bowl of “eyeballs” on the side, along with a pitcher of the punch. Let guests pour the punch over ice, then set tongs nearby so they can add the eyeballs to their punch glass. Looking for more fun Halloween recipes?
