Halloween Wicked Brews & Beverages - Part III of Halloween Recipes

Wicked Brews
Wicked Brews & Beverages - Part III of Halloween Recipes on Review This
Sometimes we focus so much on the food, that we forget that the Halloween wicked brews and beverages can be just as much fun on a Halloween buffet as the food itself.  From eerie colors to  floating body parts in our punch, one that that is for sure, they all exude the Halloween spirit.

I am going to start with the "mildest" Halloween punch, but do beware!  The further you go in this article, the more wicked the brew.


 

Halloween Orange Sherbet Punch


Sherbet punch is one of the easiest and delicious party drinks.  I am going to share my own personal recipe for Halloween Orange Sherbet Punch right here, right now.  No need to go any further to discover an awesome Halloween punch suitable for any party or any age.  I opt for Orange Sherbet, but green or raspberry would be awesome for Halloween too.

Create that smoky effect under the punch by pouring water over dry ice in a larger, separate bowl.  



Rules for Using Dry Ice ~ Know the Rules Before You Play with Dry Ice

  1. Wear Gloves!  Never touch dry ice to skin

Halloween Ice Cubes in Any Punch


You can add a touch of Halloween to any punch with shaped ice cube molds.  You can freeze water for traditional ice cubes or you can freeze the actual punch in these molds to avoid watering down your punch.  Either adds the thrill of Halloween to your punch while keeping it cool.





Eyeball Punch

I am featuring this particular Eyeball Punch recipe because of the authors ingenious way of creating the eyeballs.  

She shares her really neat trick with everyone on her blog.  You will need to scroll to the bottom of her post to see her pictorial directions, but it is well worth the visit.

This Shrunken Heads Cider is fabulously awesome.  My hat's off to Allison DiNatale for creating and sharing this frightfully cool recipe on the Martha Stewart website.


Would you believe those shrunken heads are simply Granny Smith apples?!!!  

Very, very cool indeed!  

This recipe can be made for children, but she has also included the portion instructions if you care to spice it up with rum. See the Complete Shrunken Head Cider Recipe by clicking the following link:   MarthaStewart.com

Purplicious Potion

In complete honestly, I cannot attest to the taste of this Purplicious Potion.  I simply thought it looked appropriate for Halloween, plus I love the color purple.  

I will need some of my friends to test this "potion" and report back to determine if it tastes as awesome as it looks.

But, I must ask you, isn't that photo spectacular!

  1. Oh, I love that Purplicious punch! That's my kind of Halloween brew. But all of these sound just perfect for a great Halloween treat, whether the family fun, or a party.

    1. Yes, my friend, I thought of you when I found that Purplicious punch. I thought it made for a very pretty picture :)

  2. I'd like to try them ALL. What a fabulous assortment of 'brews' you've assembled for a Halloween party time. When I lived on Tybee Island (GA) one whole street of houses participated in a Halloween for kids each year and each house had something special. My favorite was the man who made a kid-friendly punch using red Koolaid. He'd have it in a big glass punch bowl in his front yard and would dip out paper cupfuls for each kid who dared enter his yard. Some kids were too scared to ... LOL .... because the man was dressed as Dracula and would shout out.... come get your 'BLOOD' to drink! :)

    1. Thank you Coletta! The eyeball punch really would be a fun punch to make and serve. I can just imagine some of my guest being grossed out. But, hey! That is part of the fun at Halloween parties.

  5. These sound wonderful Cynthia, must pin these in case I ever get back in the kitchen to cook - the Sherbet Punch would be a hit here!
