The Best Halloween Punch Recipe
Looking for a fun and flavourful Halloween punch bowl to serve at your next spooky gathering? This delicious, cherry-infused Halloween mocktail punch is perfect for kids and adults alike. For a little extra kick, you can also transform it into an adult Halloween cocktail by adding vodka.
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Serves: 12
Ingredients
- 2L cherry juice
- Peel from 3 oranges
- 1 thumb-sized red chilli, pierced but left whole
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 10 cloves
- 6 slices of fresh ginger
- Dracula’s fangs sweets (optional, available from sweet shops)
- Optional Alcoholic Punch - 200ml vodka, or 25ml per glass
Method
Step 1
In a large saucepan, combine the cherry juice, orange peel, chilli, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and ginger. Bring the mixture to a simmer for about 5 minutes, then turn off the heat. Allow the punch to cool completely. Once cooled, chill it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or up to 2 days. The longer it sits, the more intense the flavours will be. If you're serving this to kids, remove the chilli after a few hours to keep the heat mild.
Step 2
When you're ready to serve, pour the punch into a Halloween cocktail bowl or jug. For an extra spooky touch, serve it in glass bottles or glasses with straws. If you're making an adult punch for Halloween, add vodka at this stage for a fun twist on the classic Halloween beverages. To complete the look, hang a Dracula's fangs sweet from each glass for a chilling garnish.
This Halloween recipe works perfectly as an adult Halloween punch for your party, but it's also great for those who want a festive, alcohol-free Halloween punch. Whether you're looking for Halloween drink bowl ideas or just need something spooky for your Halloween cocktails punch bowl, this punch has you covered!
