If you’ll be throwing a Halloween Party this year, you might want to consider doing some fun themed drinks.  I wanted to give you a few Halloween Drink Recipe Ideas for your bash.

My first and most obvious suggestion would be to do a red punch of some kind.  Start with some basic fruit punch, a few liter bottles of it from the store would be fine, or you could get some of the powdered kind.  Add a can of orange juice concentrate and a liter of gingerale ale.  If you’re going for an alcoholic punch, here is where you’d pour in the vodka. 

I recommend putting some creepy stuff in the punch bowl, like fake eyeballs (you can get them at your local party store) and gummy worms.  This way your guest will get more than they bargain for when they ladle their punch.

I’d also recommend doing an orange drink of some kind.  I really like peach drinks, so I’d recommend mixing peach schnapps, orange juice and a little bit of rum together.  Back in college I used to use Captain Morgan’s Spiced Silver Rum for this drink, so that’s what I’d recommend.  Cut up some fresh peaches, toss in some rasberries, and you’ll have a really delicious cocktail. 

If you really want to freak your guests out, I recommend serving one of your red drinks (be it fruit punch, margaritas, etc) in the In My Veins drink dispenser.  It is so creepy and wrong, yet perfect for a Halloween party!

Want to make a fun drink to serve your friends at your July 4th party?  I’ve got just the thing.  My nickname for this drink is “Punch of Freedom” although I think that applies more to the alcoholic version which will no doubt make you feel free if you drink enough!

Here is the way I make it, and then I’ll provide you with some alternatives:

-1 gallon fruit punch
-1 gallon lemonade
-1 bottle champagne
-1 dozen strawberries, sliced
-2 peaches, sliced
-1 package blueberries
-1 pint berry sorbet

For the two gallons of juice, you can substitute strawberry lemonade, orange juice, or cranberry juice, but I would recommend mixing at least 2 of those instead of just one base.  Whatever you mix, try to target an overall pink/red color for the punch (to fit the 4th of July theme).

For the fruits you can use pretty much whatever you like, I find the peaches and strawberries have a nice flavor and soak up the champagne or other alcohol nicely so they are tasty to eat at the end of the drink.  The blueberries are mostly just to have a little blue for the red/white/blue theme.

Instead of champagne you could use ginger-ale or tonic water for a non-alcoholic version.  If you want it to be alcoholic but are looking for something stronger, you could also substitute vodka, but be careful not to add too much!

I like the sorbet because it adds extra fun; you could also substitute sherbet or even vanilla ice cream.  However, if your party is outdoors and you don’t have enough ice, you will definitely end up with a soupy drink when the frozen part melts.

Whatever way you personalize this drink, there’s little you can do that will truly mess it up, so it should end up fun and festive!

After munching on all your favorite Halloween recipes, all the ghosts and goblins at your Halloween party are going to be thirsty.   A tall glass of Halloween punch or homemade witches’ brew will certainly hit the spot.  At my Halloween party, I like to fill up a big punch bowl and let guests serve themselves.

Here are a two Halloween punch recipes that will keep even a big crowd of monsters happy.

Bewitching Fruit Punch

• 4 cups ice
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 can (12 oz.) frozen cranberry juice drink concentrate
• 1/2 cup lime juice
• 2 cans (12 oz.) lemon and/or lime flavored soda or sparkling water

Combine ice, lime juice, water, and cranberry drink concentrate in a blender, and blend on high speed until ice is finely chopped.  Pour mixture into punch bowl, and add lemon/lime soda. Garnish with fresh lime slices. Source:  Land O’ Lakes.

Ghoul-Aid

This recipe makes a spooky black Halloween punch.

• 1 packet of powdered grape drink mix
• 1 packet of powdered orange drink mix
• 2 cups sugar
• 3 quarts of water
• 1 liter of ginger ale

Combine sugar, water, and drink packets and stir until well blended. Pour into punch bowl, and add ginger ale just before serving.

Add a frozen hand:  If you want to add a floating ice hand to this Halloween punch, simply fill a clean rubber glove with water, knot the end to close it, and freeze.  Remove ice hand from glove, and float it in the punch.
