Vampire Punch
Vampire costumes are a staple in Halloween parties so why not create a blood red drink to match? The Bloody Vampire Punch is made with clear rum, orange juice, pomegranate juice, lime and seltzer. Use about 4 to 6 cups for each juice and half a cup of lime. Add 1 liter of seltzer before you serve for that fizz and you’ll have the perfect Halloween drink.
Pond Scum
If you want something versatile,something that is great for adults you can try the Pond Scum. This drink can be a tad sweet for most adults but the finished product looks so scummy and dirty, you’d want to drink it just out of sheer curiosity. You can make the Pond Scum with 1 liter of bottle grape soda, 1 liter of orange soda and lime sherbet, although natural grape and orange juice will work great as well. Just mix the two drinks together, add scoops of lime sherbet so they look like globs of radioactive hardened goo and you have the perfect Pond Scum. The fizz and bubbles from the soda adds to the scummy look of the drink and makes it even more realistic but you can also use seltzer for the same effect if you use the juice.
Pink Brain Shooter
The pink brain shooter is a gooey drink that is also very scary to look at. Most adults would just find it interesting but it also serves as a great conversation starter for your guests. You will need a gelatin mold, peach flavored Jell-O, evaporated milk, peach schnapps, food coloring and water. Make the gelatin just like you would with regular gelatin using the mold and mix in the evaporated milk and schapps 20 minutes after you dissolve the gelatin. Once the gelatin has hardened, you can mix the pink and blue food colors to create veins and other details to make the brain look more realistic.
