We
try to mix up our Halloween punch based on the theme of our Halloween
party. For instance, when we had a Vampire themed party, we
made cherry flavored punch because of its bright red color.
When the theme was Zombies, we used a ghoulish green punch.
For our Halloween punch we always use
Kool-Aid, usually the pre-sweetened type. Its very easy to make, tastes great and has many
different flavors and colors. If your punch bowl runs dry, you can mix
up more in minutes. When filling the punch bowl, leave room
for ice! Don't fill all the way to the top or it may spill.
While there are many different
Halloween style punch bowls available, we prefer to use a
clear glass or plastic punch bowl. They show the color of
the punch better and you can use a
Pumpkin Light under the
punch bowl for a great
special effect.
PUMPKIN PUNCH
What
color represents Halloween the best? Why, orange of course!
Using Orange flavored non-sweetened Kool-Aid or
pre-sweetened Kool-Aid,
mix up enough to fill
your punch bowl. You can add creepy hand shaped ice, using
plastic food handlers gloves, fill with water, tie off the
top and freeze.
Using a
Pumpkin Light under the punch bowl for a great
special effect
really reflects off the ice no matter what kind you use!
We've come up with an idea that makes this very easy, click

VAMPIRE PUNCH
Can't find a blood bank for some real vampire Punch? Cherry
flavored non-sweetened Kool-Aid or pre-sweetened Kool-Aid with its bright red color and sweet taste works almost as
well!
Mix enough Cherry flavored Kool-Aid as
directed for your punch bowl.
To add a little extra creepiness
to your punch, you could float some wax fangs in the bowl or
make ice using the plastic full mouth fangs. They come in 12
packs, just fill with water, freeze, push out and float. But
beware, they melt fast!

WITCHES BREW
PUNCH
A classic,
lemon-aid with its tangy flavor makes
an enchanting Halloween punch. Mix up a batch of
non-sweetened Kool-Aid or pre-sweetened Kool-Aid in Lemon-aid flavor and fill up your cauldron,
oops, we mean
your punch bowl. Leave room for ice to keep it chilled.
Float a couple
hands of ice, add a little green food coloring to the water
and they'll have a ghastly contrast to the punch. Using a
Pumpkin Light under the punch bowl for a great
special effect
really gives this color Kool-Aid lovely glow!

ZOMBIE PUNCH
Need
something green and tasty for all those Ghouls and Zombies
your expecting Halloween Night? Just mix up enough
lemon-lime flavored non-sweetened Kool-Aid or pre-sweetened
Kool-Aid for your punch bowl and your
all set for an invasion of the undead.
Ice hands go well with this
punch. You can also find gelatin molds for making brains,
hearts and other organs in Halloween stores that work just
as well for ice. Add a
Pumpkin Light under the punch bowl for a great
special effect
really gives this Zombie Punch an eerie glow!

OLD FASHIONED
APPLE CIDER
Soft Apple
Cider is a wonderful beverage to serve your Halloween
guests! The best tasting cider is 100% apple, with no water
or sugar added. Cider that has been pasteurized
offers a safer product without changing the flavor. You can
serve apple cider from the jug, we prefer buying it in glass
jugs, or from a punch bowl.
Every October we visit
Oak Glen,
to pick our own McIntosh
apples for our Candy and Carmel covered apples, and to buy
fresh pressed apple cider.
