Thread: Looking for great (leaded) punch recipes!

Tweet

So, as I'm putting together my menu for the party in 1-1/2 weeks (yikes! ack!), I'm trying to come up with a couple of good punch recipes.

Right now, I'm planning on making an apple infused vodka and a cinnamon infused tequila that will get mixed with some Sailor Jerry's rum, ginger ale, and a splash of apple juice.

I was thinking of creating a "blood"-type punch, maybe straight vodka and cranberry (unsweetened juice, not cocktail) with a splash of lime and a float of orange sherbet, or a red sangria, but those seem kinda commonplace.

I'm nixing the "voodoo daquiri" (bourbon, grape pucker schnapps, and grape juice - modified recipe from Lafitte's Bar in New Orleans, and a great Halloween color!) this year, as the sweeter punches don't seem to be as popular these days (we're all getting older I suppose, lol).

Anyone care to share their Halloween punch recipes for my benefit? Thanks in advance...

We have used a punch called Dragon's Blood for a couple of years, and it gets sucked down every time.

1 750 ml bottle vodka
1/2 cup Orange liqueur
6 cups (48 oz.) red fruit punch punch
6 cups apple juice
6 cups cranberry juice
2 liters ginger ale

If that sounds too sweet, I'd imagine it would taste fine with less fruit punch or even omitting the apple juice.

Hey, I was on the hunt for similar recipes a couple years back. There is some good info in here.

This is something I like to call "The World's Best Punch" (modestly, of course ) It goes down very, very easily. Too easily, some might say. I say there's no such thing.

2 2 Liter bottles Margarita mix
3 Cups tequila
3/4 cup Triple Sec
1/2 cup lime juice
1/4 cup Blue Curacao
1 2 Liter bottle lemon-lime soda, chilled

Combine Margarita mix, tequila, triple sec, lime, and blue curacao. Cover and freeze until slushy ( I have found overnight works best.) Put in punch bowl, add soda. Makes 2 gals ( with the soda). And it is a delightful toxic green color.

Hooch's well, uh hooch, is great! I am about to make it for the Be WITCHY party. We had it last year and everyone loved it!

This past summer, I made MHooch's punch, sangria and beergaritas for our 20th anniversary party. The sangria wasn't touched but I had to keep making
batches of the punch and beergaritas until I ran out of ingredients. I have had requests for both again this Halloween. I will call it Boogeritas though for the
party, lol. Both men and women love them.

OK I'll bite: what's a beergarita?And thank you both for the nice comments on my "hooch" [/FONT]

Our punch is super simple. We call it Zombie Virus Punch because it's a lovely virus serum shade of yellow-green.
2 parts mountain dew
1 part vodka
I make in an empty 5 gallon water bottle and dispense it with our water cooler. The punch comes out icy cold!

Beergaritas: 1 (12 fluid ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate.undiluted (use the empty can to measure rest of ingredients)
1/2 can white tequila
1/2 can water, club soda or sprite - whatever your preference
1 can of beer ( I use Sol but anything works)
squeeze of lime

You can taste and adjust as you like. Some like more tequila, some like more beer, some use more lime. I prefer a bit lot more lime and tequila. Now, I mix up enough for the punch bowls, that I am using bottles instead of cans for the measuring, lol

A popular and simple recipe is;

4 cups pineapple juice
2 cups vodka
2 cups sugar
64 oz ginger ale
4 cups cranberry juice

Simply mix all of it together in your punch bowl and decorate how you want.
