This witches brew cocktail punch is the best for Halloween parties! Inspired by Halloween candy, it has pomegranate, blueberry, lemon, and tequila (or vodka) for a fruity, tart cocktail. Add dry ice to the punch bowl for a fun party trick, or make them as individual drinks for a few friends.
Tongs and safety glasses (if you're using dry ice)
Instructions
Party Punch
In a punch bowl, combine the blueberry liqueur, tequila, simple syrup, pomegranate juice, and lemon juice. Stir well, cover, and refrigerate.
When you're ready to serve the punch, remove the bowl from the fridge. Give it another good stir and add the club soda. Stir gently.
If you're using dry ice, carefully break the ice apart by dropping it on the ground a few times (don't forget to wear safety goggles!). Using tongs, grab a couple of chunks (2-3 inches) and place them in the punch bowl. Use a ladle to serve the punch. Enjoy!
Individual Drink
In a cocktail shaker, combine the blueberry liqueur, tequila, simple syrup, pomegranate juice, and lemon juice. Fill with ice, top with the lid, and shake until frosty, about 30 seconds.
Strain the cocktail into a rocks or highball glass. Top with club soda. Enjoy!
Notes
If you want to serve the punch immediately, chill your ingredients beforehand so the cocktail is nice and cold.Don't touch or drink the dry ice, or it could cause burns or frostbite.If you're making an individual cocktail, you can strain it over a large ice cube for an extra-cold drink.To make simple syrup, stir together equal parts of water and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved. Allow the simple syrup to cool completely before you add it to drinks.
