Sweet, red, fruity, fun and spooky. This is the description of the cranberry party punch. Both, either alcoholic or non-alcoholic variation, are absolutely delicious and perfect for the Halloween.
What makes every party special? A drink! A drink that everyone will remember. And Halloween is a perfect occasion for an epic drink. Offer this cranberry party punch to your friends for the spookiest night of the year. You will make a great impression!
Halloween is also a great time to experiment with ingredients and to create spooky, gross and fun things. This cranberry party punch will be watching you and maybe trying to catch you. Hahahaha. You will find some eyeballs and hands in it. Are you scared or intrigued?
I will quickly explain. The eyeballs are simply lychees stuffed with blueberries and grapes. Lychees are just perfect to create a very convincing eyeball. Fabulous, isn’t it? For the ice-cold hand, you’ll need a plastic glove and water. Fill the glove with water, make a knot and put in the freezer. It is a good idea to make these frozen parts the night before.
Easy, simple and bloody ingenious! I believe a punch like this, either alcoholic or a virgin will become a big party hit (along with your Halloween snacks).
Ingredients for the cranberry party punch:
- 2 litres cranberry juice
- 30-40 lychees (2 cans, keep the juice)
- 15-20 blueberries
- 15-20 green grapes
- around 400 ml lychee juice (from the can)
- 500 ml ginger ale
- red food colouring gel (Wilton)
- 1 orange
- (optional) vodka
- rubber gloves
Take a big bowl or any other container where you plan to prepare the cranberry party punch.
Furthermore, wash the blueberries and the orange. I bought the lychees in a can. Yeah, just not the right season for the fresh ones. However, dip a toothpick in the red colouring gel and draw some lines on the lychee (from the whole towards outside). They should look like broken eye blood vessels. Then put one blueberry or one grape in each lychee. There you have the eyeballs. Don’t you feel just a little like doctor Frankenstein? Hehehe.
Place the stuffed lychees in the bowl. Cut the washed orange into round slices and add them to the lychees. Now, pour in the cranberry juice, lychee juice (from the can) and ginger ale. For the alcoholic variation, add some vodka.
At the end add immerse ice hands (of course you remove the glove) into the red punch.
Fill up the glass with cranberry party punch and “eyeballs” for the super spooky effect. No matter what kind of a “monster” you are, you are going to love it.
Cheers!
