What Is Vampire Blood Punch?

This punch is a bright red, kid-friendly Halloween drink made with a mix of fruit juices and soda, topped with creepy garnishes like floating “eyeballs,” fake vampire teeth, or even dry ice fog (for that full mad-scientist effect!). It’s sweet, fruity, and slightly fizzy—basically the drink equivalent of Halloween candy in a cup.

The name? Just part of the fun. You can serve it in a large cauldron, ladle it out of a punch bowl with floating vampire teeth, or pour it into test tubes for a spooky science lab party theme.

• Dry ice for smoky fog (with adult supervision only!)

Tools You’ll Need

How to Make Halloween Vampire Blood Punch

Step 1: Mix the juices

In a large punch bowl, combine cherry juice, cranberry juice, pomegranate juice, orange juice (if using), and lime juice. Stir well.

Step 2: Chill or refrigerate

Let it chill in the fridge or pour over ice just before serving. You can also freeze some juice into ice cubes to keep the punch cold without watering it down.

Step 3: Add the fizz

Just before serving, pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda or ginger ale and stir gently.

Step 4: Garnish and serve

Add gummy eyeballs, vampire teeth, or floating frozen fruit. For a foggy, spooky effect, carefully add small pieces of dry ice—but be sure no one swallows it! (Adult supervision required.)

What to Serve With Vampire Blood Punch

Pair your creepy cocktail with:

• Mummy hot dogs

Tips for the Best Halloween Punch

• Always add soda last to keep it fizzy

• Add ice cubes made of juice so the punch stays flavorful

Storage Instructions
