Ingredients

Juice: To make this potion, you will need cranberry and pineapple juice. Chill the juices ahead of time to keep the drinks cooler once they are made.

Liquor: For this cocktail, choose your favorite coconut rum, such as Malibu, Captain Morgan’s, or Bacardi.

Soda: Grab lemon-lime soda to make this a bubbly Witch’s Brew!

Ice: Be sure to have plenty of ice on hand to keep all the cocktails you’ll make as cool as a crypt.

How to Make Witch’s Brew

STEP ONE: Add the cranberry juice, pineapple juice, coconut rum, lemon-lime soda, and ice to a shaker or a jar with a lid.

STEP TWO: Shake the drink well, until the outside of the shaker feels cold.

STEP THREE: Pour the drink into a glass and enjoy.

Tips for Success

• Chill the drink ingredients beforehand to keep the cocktail cooler for longer. This will also help the ice to melt slower so the drink doesn’t become watered down as fast.
• A cocktail shaker or a jar with a lid can be used to mix this drink.
• This drink can be made with lower-sugar or diet juice and soda options, but the flavor may change slightly.

Can I make this brew in a pitcher?

You can easily make this Witch’s Brew in a pitcher to serve all your guests more easily. Instead of measuring the ingredients by the ounce, measure the liquids by the cup and pour everything into a 4-quart pitcher. You can also pour this punch into two 2-quart pitchers and leave one in the fridge to stay cold until needed. Most punch bowls are around 8 quarts, so to fill a punch bowl, simply double the cup amounts of the juices, rum, and soda.

How do I make a Halloween punch that smokes?

Make your punch more magical and spooky by adding something extra to make it smoky! Dry ice and water are all you need to create this crafty illusion. First, find a bowl that is slightly larger than your punch bowl. Place the dry ice into the larger bowl and place the punch bowl inside the larger bowl on top of the dry ice. Add a little water to the larger bowl with the dry ice and watch the smoke magically drift around the punch. If there is dry ice in the bowl, you can keep adding water to keep the smoke flowing. Always use caution with dry ice, handle it with gloves on, and do not ingest dry ice.
