In our house, it’s family tradition to have an awesome Halloween party each year. We usually start it early enough that the kids can be part of the fun, but then continue it into the night so the adults (or at least those who feel like sticking around rather than taking their little ones home to bed) can have some social time too! That’s why, each year, we try to find a few awesome drink recipes that everyone can enjoy together. We’ve been keeping our eyes peeled lately for cool, spooky Halloween punch recipes that we haven’t served to our friends and family before!
If you’re feeling just as enthusiastic as we are, if not more, about the idea of making your own homemade Halloween punch, check out these 15 fantastic punch concepts, flavours, and recipes that we’ve come across so far in this year’s search.
1. Pumpkin’s blood Halloween punch
Are you the kind of fall lover who adores pumpkins more than just about anything else when it comes to both the season and Halloween? In that case, this very first idea might be precisely the kind of thing you’re looking for! We thought this recipe from Today’s Creative Ideas for a bright orange sweet punch that’s supposed to look like pumpkin blood might already be the best solution for you.
2. Witch’s wicked punch
Rather than being totally obsessed with pumpkins, have you actually always found that witches are your favourite Halloween character? In that case, we have a feeling this awesomely bright green idea and recipe from Woman’s Day might be a little more up your alley! Check out their tutorial to learn more about how this witch’s wicked punch was made.
3. Goosebumps punch
If you’re going to make awesome punch for a Halloween party, would you rather make something extra novelty in order to appeal to the kids specifically? Well, we happen to know that our kids get a real kick out of anything that’s borderline gross and overly sweet, especially around Halloween. That’s why we thought this candy-filled goosebumps punch outlined step by step on Sugar & Soul was such a neat idea!
4. Toxic ooze Halloween punch
Are you feeling very intrigued indeed with the idea of making a bright green drink because that’s your favourite colour and you usually love the green fruit flavours the best, but you’re just not sure about some of the ingredients in the previous two lime shade recipes we’ve shown you? Then here’s another one for your consideration! Revel and Glitter teaches you step by step how to make this toxic ooze Halloween punch that’s served in a beaker like a science experiment.
5. Black spider party punch
In your opinion, is flavour actually more important than colour or kitschy presentation when it comes to making your Halloween punch?

Finding Zest shows you how to make it happen, but also how to dress it up like black spider juice to keep things on the spooky theme.
6. Slow cooker vampire punch
