This Fruity Ghoul's Brew features frozen ice cubes made from maraschino cherries and cran-raspberry juice, served in a glass with a bloody corn syrup rim. The punch itself is a simple mix of orange juice and ginger ale. The result is a delightfully creepy drink that's perfect for Halloween.
Ingredients
Directions
- Drop a maraschino cherry into each compartment of an ice cube tray. Pour cran-raspberry juice over the cherries until each compartment is full, then add 2 drops of red food coloring to each. Place the tray in the freezer until solid.
- In a pitcher, combine 2 parts orange juice with 1 part ginger ale and stir. For the blood effect, mix a few drops of red food coloring into some corn syrup until you reach the desired shade.
- When you're ready to serve, dip the rim of each glass into the colored corn syrup, letting it drip down the sides. Fill the glass with the orange juice and ginger ale punch, then add 2 of the cherry-and-juice ice cubes.
