  • Bloody Good Halloween Party Punch

    scissors
    1/4 cup cranberry juice concentrate (see tips)
    12 thinly sliced cucumber rounds for garnish
    Preparation:
    Mix orange juice and pineapple juice in a 1/2 gallon pitcher. Chill.
    When ready to serve, use clear glasses to see the “dripping blood” effect. Put ice cubes in glasses, then fill glasses 2/3rds full with juice. Add enough ginger ale to fill glasses.
    Garnish each glass will a round of cucumber.
    Use a small spoon to slowly drizzle 1 teaspoon of cranberry juice concentrate around the inside rim of each glass and watch the red “blood” drip down the inside of the glass.
    Tips:
    I used Reed’s brand “Ginger Beer”- a non-alcoholic, very flavorful ginger ale made with natural ingredients.
    Look for cranberry concentrate at health food stores. It is very tart so don’t add more than 1 teaspoon to each glass. It will settle in the bottom of the glass. Use straws to stir and watch the juice turn from orange to dark red.
    Makes about 12 – 1 cup servings
