Planning a Halloween party? Put on your best Halloween costume, whip up some tasty Halloween appetizers, and pull out your cauldron—err, punch bowl—because it's time to make one of these spook-tastic sippers. Nothing says a party quite like a big bowl of punch anyway, and now's your chance to make some bone-chilling concoctions. This list of Halloween punch recipes range from frighteningly festive to seasonally sweet with something for every ghoul and goblin.
Here, you'll find a mix of boozy beverages and non-alcoholic drinks so there's something for everyone at the party. Kids will love the fizzy cherry punch while the apple cider margaritas and bloody Marias are made just for the adults. If there's a haunting chill in the air, there's no better way to warm up for a round of trick-or-treating than with a mug full of something hot and cozy like mulled apple cider.
There's really no rules when it comes to Halloween drinks. You can make fall cocktails or big-batch drinks, whatever fits best with your theme. Of course, Ree Drummond can't pass up a good sangria recipe. "All you need is a pitcher of sangria to make it a party," she says—and they don't even have to include the booze! The best thing about these recipes is that they make plenty so instead of bartending all evening, you can enjoy the fun.
