Looking for a punch that’ll have your Halloween guests howling for more? Enter the Witch’s Blood Punch, a blood-red brew that’s fruity, tangy, and just unsettling enough to make everyone wonder what’s in it. (Spoiler: no real blood—probably.) This concoction blends hibiscus tea with tropical juices and a splash of grenadine for that deep, ominous red layer. It’s perfect for a cauldron, or just a punch bowl if your potion-making skills are a little rusty.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups cold hibiscus tea (brew 3-4 hibiscus tea bags and chill)
- 2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice (for a citrusy zing)
- 1 cup pineapple juice (adds tropical sweetness)
- 1/4 cup grenadine (for that rich, blood-like layer)
- Optional: 6 oz white rum (for an enchanted twist)
- Garnish: Gummy worms, edible eyes, or plastic spiders for Halloween flair
- Yield: This recipe serves about 6-8 people, providing 8-10 oz per serving.
Instructions:
- Brew the hibiscus tea by steeping 3-4 tea bags in 3 cups of boiling water. Let it cool and chill in the fridge.
- In a large punch bowl (or cauldron for full witchy effect), combine the cold hibiscus tea, orange juice, and pineapple juice.
- Stir in the grenadine carefully to create a dark red layer at the bottom.
- Optional: For a boozy punch, add 6 oz of white rum.
- Garnish with gummy worms, plastic spiders, or edible eyes to give it that spooky Halloween vibe.
- Serve over ice, ladling out the potion from your cauldron of doom!
This punch is perfect for your Halloween gathering, whether you’re summoning spirits or just trying to impress your mortal friends with a killer drink.
