When the sun goes down and the spirits come out on Halloween, raise a glass of this Devilish Punch. Sweet pureed strawberries, cranberry cocktail, and lemon lime soda combine for the perfect sweet tart combination. Add a little serrano pepper and take the flavor up a notch.

When hosting a party, don’t forget about fun Halloween Drinks! In addition to bottles of soda or cans of beer, try something new and exciting for your guests.. These Halloween Drinks are easy to make with a few simple ingredients. And the addition of Serrano chili peppers truly makes them a Devilish Punch.
For the kid-friendly version of this Devilish Punch begin with a puree of strawberries and sugar, then add cranberry juice cocktail and finish it with lemon-lime soda. Omit the vodka.
The Serrano chili peppers serve two purposes – first they make a fun decoration for the Devilish Punch – and second, you can run the pepper around the edge of the glass and add it to the drink for a little extra flavor.
Remember to always wash your hands after handling hot peppers of any kind.
Serving adults? Add vodka to these Halloween Drinks. You can also substitute a bottle of Prosecco or sparkling wine for the lemon lime soda if you like a little less sweetness and a little more punch.
