Halloween Vampire’s Kiss Strawberry Punch

Instructions:

  1. In a large punch bowl, combine strawberry soda, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and grenadine. Stir gently to mix.
  2. Drop in peeled grapes to float as creepy “eyeballs.”
  3. Add ice cubes to keep the punch cold and bubbly.
  4. Garnish each glass with gummy fangs, or float some directly in the punch bowl for a chilling surprise.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy your spooky creation.

Variations

  • Adults-only version: Stir in 1–2 cups of vodka or coconut rum for a festive cocktail.
  • Citrus twist: Replace pineapple juice with orange juice for a tangier balance.
  • Extra creepy: Freeze the peeled grapes before adding them—this will keep your punch colder for longer and make the “eyeballs” look even eerier.
  • Sugar-free option: Use diet strawberry soda and unsweetened cranberry juice for a lighter version.

Tips

  • Prepare the grapes ahead of time by peeling and chilling them so they are ready to drop into the punch just before serving.
  • To intensify the spooky look, serve the punch in clear glasses with a dark rim of black sanding sugar.
  • If making for kids, keep extra gummy fangs on the side—they double as a fun party treat.
  • Always add the ice last to avoid diluting the flavors too quickly.
