Fun Halloween Food Ideas: Devilish Punch

When the sun goes down, the spirits come out for Halloween. Here’s another fun Halloween food idea, Devilish Punch. Did you see the Spider Taco Ring? So fun…and delicious too!

I don’t know about you but when I’m hosting a party I often forget about what drinks to serve, and usually end up grabbing some bottles of soda and a bag of ice. These Halloween Drinks are easy to make with a few simple ingredients. And the addition of Serrano chili peppers make them a real Devilish Punch. But we don’t want it to be too scary for the kids.

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.

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? Just add vodka to these Halloween Drinks.
