5 Halloween Punch Recipes

Having a punch bowl at your Halloween party can be a fun and creative way to entertain. You won't have to interrupt the fun by stopping to make mixed drinks and you won't need a bartender. All of the following five Halloween punch recipes can be served either with or without alcohol depending on your needs.

Orange Halloween Punch.

• Orange Kool-Aid
• 1 gallon fresh orange juice
• Large bottle Ginger Ale

1. Mix the Kool-Aid according to package directions.
2. Combine with orange juice and ginger ale. Add vodka, if desired.

Black Halloween Punch.

• Grape Kool-Aid
• Orange Kool-Aid
• Large bottle Ginger Ale

1. Combine the grape and orange Kool-Aid, adding the amount of water indicated on package.
2. Add bottle of ginger ale. Mix well. You will end up with a murky, unappealing black color punch. (Don't worry, it tastes delicious).
3. Add rum or brandy.

Vampire Blood Punch.

• Cranberry juice
• Pineapple juice
• Ginger Ale

1. Combine the above ingredients.
2. Add rum or champagne for an extra kick.

Green Zombie Punch.

• Lemon-lime Kool-Aid
• Lemon-lime soda
• Green food coloring

1. If you don't happen to have green food coloring, this punch will still look greenish, but for a really spooky effect it's best to add the food coloring.
2. Vodka or champagne work well with this punch.

Apple Cider Punch.

• Fresh apple cider (not apple juice)
• Cinnamon sticks
• Fresh lemon juice
• Brown sugar 

1. Coat the rim of each punch glass with lemon juice.
2. Make a mixture of cinnamon and brown sugar. Put it on a serving plate.
3. Dip the rim into the sugar/cinnamon mixture. (You can set these up before your party.)  Now add the apple cider to each glass.
4. Serve with a cinnamon stick in each glass.
