To display my Halloween blood bags, I added ice to my blood splattered clear caddy and propped them up. You could also add in filled syringes for other drink alternatives like my healthy blood shot drink for kids or blood jello shots for adults. (I also use fake syringes for this green punch which would be cool for Halloween.) The syringes could also be used in other ways, such as oozing blood slime. These would also be fun for a nurse’s graduation party, as well, a True Blood or Vampire Diaries watch party, and more. Included with my blood bags was a syringe with a very narrow opening that holds 50 millimeters of liquid. That works out to be just under 3 ounces of punch so you’ll need to repeat this process several times to fill up a single blood bag. I found that around 5 times to be just about right so they weren’t overfilled.

Cool, right? This may have been done before by someone else but I refuse to look that up to find out. I am proud of myself for coming up with the idea and I’d rather live in a bubble where I’m the first one.

Other Fruit Juices– if you don’t have pineapple juice, you can try orange juice or apple cider. You can sub lemon juice for lime juice, too.

Carbonation– we don’t advise putting any carbonated liquids into the blood bags. If you are serving in a punch bowl, you can add some carbonation like ginger ale, tonic water, orange seltzer, or lemon lime soda to this adult beverage to make it effervescent. Making this blood Halloween punch is very easy! I used a combination of cranberry juice, pineapple juice and lemon lime soda. But you could use any dark red juice such as pomegranate, cherry or fruit punch. Ginger ale would also be a good substituent for the lemon lime soda. I made this a non-alcoholic drink recipe because I wanted it to be kid friendly but you could add vodka if this is for an adults only celebration. This isn’t drinkable blood. It is simply a red punch that works well as a fake blood drink. Leave to cool, then chill for afew hoursor up to 2 days – the longer you leave it the more intense the flavors. Our first thought was to use Hibiscus tea, but I couldn’t find any at the store, so I bought passion fruit tea instead. This was actually a great choice, as it went really well with the Crystal Light Raspberry Lemonade mix. It was tangy and we knew we could add some sweet flavors to make some perfect Halloween punch recipes.

Blood Punch Recipe

Simple Syrup– an optional ingredient, but depending on how sweet your pineapple and lime juices are, you may want to add a dash of homemade simple syrup to the recipe.

Orange peel – for a boost in color and taste, you can stir in some juice from blood oranges if you have any available or the peel from a couple of limes. You can also blend colors to achieve a green color. Obviously yellow and blue make green, so the easiest way to achieve that is blue curacao and orange juice or pineapple juice. You can adjust the color of the green by changing the ratio of ingredients. Usually more orange or yellow than blue, as it’s the stronger color. When you make this Halloween drink there will be some foam at the top from pouring and the soda. I tried just using juice and this still occurred. The process of filling the blood bags with the syringe will add lots of air into your fake IV bag anyway, so they can’t be avoided by opting for non carbonated drinks. (You might be able to if you added the punch super slowly with the syringe but that would be very time consuming.)

Tequila– we used tequila blanco, but you can use a Reposado or Anejo if that is what you have on hand. Garnish– obviously if you are serving this spooky Halloween punch recipe in a blood bag you don’t need a garnish, it is the garnish. If you are serving out of a punch bowl, place some plastic vampire teeth in your glass, or a fresh orange peel.

Coconut Rum– gives some tropical flavor to the drink, and we loved it with the pineapple, lime and passion fruit flavors. Lime Juice– a sour ingredient, as well as a tropical edge to this recipe. Remember, fresh squeezed juice is best! Halloween is all about getting spooky!
