Theme Recipe: Black Halloween Punch & Punch Ideas (Non Blavod)




Note:  this has alcohol in it.  For kids, just leave out the vodka:


1 bottle dark grape juice
1 envelope of your favorite Kool-Aid mixture (orange or lemon is good)
1/2 to 1 cup sugar 
1 qt. cold water
1 bottle vanilla or other flavored vodka
1 liter of ginger ale


Spooky garnishes, like frozen hands, etc.  Frozen hands can be made my freezing juice or just plain water in a new dishwashing glove.




1.  Combine the grape juice with the Kool-Aid powder, add 1/2 cup sugar to begin with, then add the cold water.  Mix to dissolve.  Add in the vodka. Chill.


2.  Right before serving, add as much ginger ale as you like, check the sugar level and serve.  Note:  if you are using plain water for the hand, you might want to go ahead and add extra sugar, as the water will dilute the punch as it melts.  Keep adding fresh ginger ale, as needed.  Float hand and/or other spooky punch garnishes.



Variations

This can be made with all drink powder, one of them has to be grape if you want it black--but you could go green, etc.  Just add 2 cups of sugar and 2 quarts of water.

You can add in your favorite liqueur, Midori is nice.
