• cran-pineapple juice – this serves as the fruity base of the punch, with a tart flavor profile reminiscent of the fall season.
• ginger ale – you can use regular or sugar-free ginger ale here to add a fizzy kick and touch of spice.
• coconut water – enhances the tropical undertones of the pineapple juice.
• edible gold glitter dust – an optional addition to transform your punch into a mesmerizing, mystical elixir.
• gummy eyeballs, gummy vampire teeth and/or gummy worms – any combination of these playful edible decorations add a whimsical, spooky touch to the punch.
• 1 food-safe nitrile/latex glove + 1 rubber band – not really an ingredient, but you’ll need these if you’re making a frozen ice hand (directions below).
• ice – if you’re not making an ice hand for your Halloween party punch, just use regular ice to keep the punch cold and refreshing.
• coconut rum (optional) – for those who desire an adult version of this bewitching beverage. I recommend Malibu or Parrot Bay.

How to make Halloween Punch (Non Alcoholic)

1. The day before you want to serve the punch, make the ice hand by filling a food-grade glove with water and tying the glove at the top with a rubber band. Place it in the freezer overnight.
2. Just before serving, make the punch: In a large punch bowl, stir together the cran-pineapple juice, ginger ale and coconut water.
3. If using, add the edible gold glitter dust and stir.
4. Remove the ice hand from the freezer and cut the glove off and discard.
5. Add the candies and the ice hand to the punch and serve right away, with extra candies for garnishing each cup.

How to make Halloween Punch Alcoholic

While you want to keep this easy Halloween punch non alcoholic for the kids, you can spike an individual serving of punch for any adult by adding 1 shot of coconut rum per serving.

Or, if you are having an adults-only party, you can spike the entire bowl of punch by stirring in 12 ounces of coconut rum. If you do this, you can omit the coconut water if you’d like.

How to serve Halloween Punch for Adults

Set up a self-serve station with cups (or even fancy champagne or coupe glasses), a bowl of the punch, and a bottle of coconut rum. Allow your adult guests to create their own spirited concoctions.

Fun ideas for serving Halloween Punch for Kids

For a younger kid’s party, keep the Halloween punch non alcoholic of course, and consider using plastic or paper spooky cups, and colorful straws, for serving. Halloween punch for kids that are a bit older would be great served in skull tumblers [affiliate link].

Keep the kids fed with some Halloween food ideas like Halloween pizzas to go with the punch.

Storing Halloween Punch

This Halloween punch recipe is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just remember to remove any garnishes and add fresh ice before serving again.
