This Halloween Punch Is The Best Drink For Your Monster Mash

It’s not a real Halloween bash without a cauldron of something bubbling, fizzy, and just a little bit mysterious. If you’re hosting a full-blown costume party or just corralling trick-or-treaters with snacks and drinks, our Halloween punch is the perfect drink to serve for spooky season.

It’s ridiculously easy, refreshingly delicious, and can be served non-alcoholic (hello, kiddos) or spiked for adults who’ve just handed out 500 pieces of candy and deserve a treat of their own. Bonus: this punch looks fantastic on a table and tastes even better.

Halloween Punch Recipe Ingredients

A full recipe card, including exact ingredient amounts, appears at the bottom of this post. This section contains affiliate links.

• cran-pineapple juice – this serves as the fruity base of the punch, with a tart flavor profile reminiscent of the fall season. You can also use regular cranberry juice.
• ginger ale – you can use regular or sugar-free ginger ale here to add some bubble action and a touch of spice. Lemon-lime soda like Sprite also works well here.
• coconut water – enhances the tropical undertones of the pineapple juice.
• edible gold glitter dust – an optional addition to transform your punch into a mesmerizing, mystical elixir.
• gummy eyeballs, gummy vampire teeth, and/or gummy worms – any combination of these playful edible decorations adds a whimsical, spooky touch to the punch.
• 1 food-safe nitrile/latex glove + 1 rubber band – not really an ingredient, but you’ll need these if you’re making a frozen ice hand (directions below).
• ice – if you’re not making an ice hand for your Halloween party punch, just use regular ice to keep the punch cold and refreshing.
• coconut rum (optional) – for those who desire an adult version of this bewitching beverage. We recommend Malibu or Parrot Bay.

How To Make Halloween Punch (Non Alcoholic)

1. ICE HAND. The day before you want to serve the punch, fill a food-grade glove with water and tie the glove at the top with a rubber band. Place it in the freezer overnight.
2. PUNCH. In a large punch bowl, stir together the cran-pineapple juice, ginger ale, and coconut water.
3. GLITTER. If using, add the edible gold glitter dust and stir.
4. GARNISH. Remove the ice hand from the freezer and cut the glove off and discard. Add the candies and the ice hand to the punch and serve right away, with extra candies for garnishing each cup.

How To Make Adult Halloween Punch

While you want to keep this fun Halloween party punch non alcoholic for the kids, you can spike an individual serving of punch for any adult by adding one shot of coconut rum per serving.

You can set up a self-serve station with cups (or even fancy champagne or coupe glasses), a bowl or large pitcher of the punch, and a bottle of alcohol like coconut rum. Allow your adult guests to pour their own spirited concoctions.

Or, if you are having an adults-only party, you can spike the entire Halloween punch bowl by stirring in 12 ounces of coconut rum. If you do this, you can omit the coconut water if you’d like.

Fun Ideas For Serving Halloween Punch For Kids

For a younger kid’s party, you’ll be serving non-alcoholic punch, of course. Consider using plastic or paper spooky cups and colorful straws for serving. Halloween punch for kids that are a bit older would be great served in skull tumblers [affiliate link].

Keep the kids fed with some Halloween Food Ideas, like Halloween Pizza, to go with the punch.

Storing Halloween Punch

This Halloween punch recipe is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just remember to remove any garnishes and add fresh ice before serving again.
