Halloween Party Drinks





So you're planning on throwing a Halloween party and want to add a little extra flair that your guess will remember for months on after. Why not do it with some Halloween themed drinks. The drinks you serve should have great spooky names, a ghoulish look and a super scary punch!  Of course with adult drinks you must always play safe and have designated drivers.


Below I have listed a few drinks that I thought would be pretty cool at my next Halloween party.


For the Grown-ups:


Vampires Kiss

1 oz DeKuyper® Sour Apple Pucker schnapps

For the Kids:




Eerie Witch's Brew

Ingredients:

Mixing instructions:

In a 1 to 2 quart pan, bring 1 cup of cranberry juice and candied ginger to a boil over high heat. Boil, uncovered, about 2 minutes, set aside. With a vegetable peeler, pare peel (colored part only) from oranges: cut peel into thin 2 in long worms: or use an Oriental shredder to make long shreds. Add orange peel to cranberry mixture. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or as long as overnight. Juice oranges: put juice in a 6 to 8 quart pan or heavy bowl. Stir in cranberry-ginger mixture, the 3 cups cranberry juice, apple concentrate, limeade, grapes and water. If made ahead, cover and chill up to 2 hours. Add ginger ale and about a 1 pound piece of dry ice (DO NOT put small pieces in punch or cups): ice should smolder at least 30 minutes. Ladle into cups. Add any remaining ice when bubbling ceases.




Word of Caution: Never touch dry ice with your bare hands. Wear protective gloves and use tongs.
