15 Wicked Halloween Punch Recipes to Spike Your Costume Party
1. Orange Ghoul Punch
Add some fun to your Halloween party with this non-alcoholic but refreshing cocktail. Combine 6 cups of pineapple juice, 16 ounces of lemonade, and 3 cups of water in a punch bowl. Orange wedges will add an acidic kick to the drink.
For spooky hands, freeze concentrated cranberry juice in tightly sealed plastic gloves until firm.
Pro-Tip:
- Place the juice-filled gloves on a baking tray lined with a paper towel for easy removal once frozen.
2. Mulled Wine Punch
What better way to level up your Halloween party this season than with a warm glass of mulled red wine? Simmer your favorite red or white wine with some cinnamon sticks, fresh oranges, and other mulling spices for up to three hours and serve in heatproof mugs.
Pro-Tips:
- Peel the mulling oranges to minimize bitterness.
- Let the punch simmer on low heat. Boiling will evaporate the alcohol.
3. Lime Sherbet Punch
You will love this cocktail if you are looking for a more kid-friendly drink that blends with the Halloween theme colors. Spoon your lime sherbet into a punch bowl and mix in your lemon-lime soda. Scoop ice cream into the punch to make the form hold for long.
4. Bloody Mary Cocktail
Nothing ignites the Halloween mood than the eerie red shade, and this vodka and cranberry juice cocktail does just that. Aside from blueberries, you can also garnish with cherries or currants.
Pro-Tip:
- Take this drink to the next level by serving it in blood bags.
5. Pumpkin Pie Punch
Here is a pumpkin-inspired cocktail that you can repurpose throughout the fall. Combine your pumpkin pie mix with apple cider, ginger ale, and your favorite vodka. Serve this chilled and garnish with whipped cream.

6. Black Witch Cocktail
You will love this wickedly tasty cocktail that you can pull off with your favorite dark sweet juice, red wine, brandy, raspberry liqueur, and fruits like grapes, blackberries, and plums.
Serve from a pitcher and garnish with twisted orange wedges, if you wish.
7. Festive Rum Punch

This dreamy alcoholic twist on lemonade is to die for. If you do not have frozen raspberry, you can use raspberry lemonade concentrate and mix it with lemon-lime soda, lime juice, and your favorite vodka.
Garnish with whole raspberries, mint leaves, and served chilled.
Pro-Tip:
- Go for store-bought lemonade if you are using frozen fruits.

A delightful Halloween drink doesn't have to be complicated. A boozy sangria cocktail will equally tickle your guests' tastes buds. Add sliced apples, oranges, pomegranate, and brown sugar in a pitcher and muddle.

Keep it fun and serve this drink in small scooped-out pumpkins.
Pro-Tip:
- Garnish with citrus rings and cinnamon sticks.
14. The Spooky Forest Punch
I love how this berry-filled punch completes an eerie Halloween table set up. Crush a variety of berries in a simple syrup and lemon juice until they release their juice.
Finish this off with vodka or brandy, lemon wheels, and garnish with mint leaves for a full forest effect.
15. Toddy Punch
This soothingly warm punch will become your go-to pick-me-up long after Halloween. Add to hot water a simple honey syrup, lime juice, allspice berries, scotch, rum or brandy, and mulling spices and cook over low heat to release flavor.
