Ingredients
Scale
Ice Hand (Optional)
- 1 food-grade latex or nitrile glove
- 1 rubber band
- Water (enough to fill the glove)
Punch
- 48 ounces cran-pineapple juice
- 32 ounces ginger ale
- 8 ounces coconut water
- ½ teaspoon edible gold glitter dust (optional)
- Gummy eyeballs, vampire teeth and worms (for garnish)
- Coconut rum (optional, for spiked punch)
Instructions
- Prepare Ice Hand: If making the ice hand, fill the glove with water and secure the top with a rubber band. Place it in the freezer overnight so it freezes solid and forms a spooky ice hand mold.
- Mix Punch: Just before serving, combine the cran-pineapple juice, ginger ale, and coconut water in a large punch bowl. Stir gently to mix all the liquids evenly.
- Add Glitter Dust: If desired, stir in ½ teaspoon of edible gold glitter dust to add a shimmering effect to the punch, making it look magical and festive.
- Add Ice Hand and Garnishes: Remove the frozen ice hand from the glove by cutting off the glove carefully. Add the ice hand to the punch bowl along with gummy eyeballs, vampire teeth, and gummy worms for a fun and creepy touch.
- Serve: Serve the punch as is for a non-alcoholic party drink. For an adult version, add 1 shot of coconut rum to each serving to spike the punch with a tropical twist.
Notes
- Ensure the glove used to make the ice hand is food-grade and safe for freezing drinking water.
- You can prepare the ice hand up to 24 hours in advance and keep it frozen until party time.
- Edible gold glitter dust is purely decorative and adds a festive sparkle but can be omitted if unavailable.
- Gummy candies can be substituted or varied according to your Halloween theme and preferences.
- Adjust the amount of coconut rum to taste or omit altogether for a family-friendly punch.
