Make this Vampire Punch for your Halloween party. Spooky, festive and delicious!
Halloween Vampire Punch Recipe with Lime Sherbet (1)

While the stars of the Halloween parties are always the costumes - a skeleton and a werewolf are haunting our house this year - the treats are almost as fun. This year the boys and I made Halloween Deviled Eggs Mummy Cookies, and last year my husband initiated making some decadent Maple-Glazed donuts.

The tradition of roasting pumpkin seeds started when I was a kid and each year I look forward to making them just the way my mum still does.

Of course, you have to have a drink to wash down the treats. Preferably something sweet, like punch. The creepier the better. If you attract a few vampires to your party, then you have succeeded. Waa-haa-haa-haa (that's my best spine-tingling laugh).

I got the idea for the blood-red drips from a drink featured on Martha Stewart's site. They have some fantastic Halloween beverage ideas, so be sure to check it out. The "blood" is a simple concoction of corn syrup and red food coloring. Just dip the edges of your glasses into the mixture and voila, they are Halloween-ready (I suggest dipping less enthusiastically than I did so your glasses aren't quite as drippy and messy.) The punch is a simple mixture of lime sherbet, pink grapefruit juice and club soda. Many punches with sherbet are too sweet for my taste because they often include some sort of soda in addition to the sherbet and juice. So, I left out the sweet stuff and added in club soda for a little fizz.

This drink was a hit with my kids and I had a hard time resisting gulping down a couple of glasses myself. If you would like to upgrade the drink to adult level, make up a second batch with some shots of vodka included (I'll leave the amount up to you) and serve the co*cktail in a martini glass.

How to make vampire lime sherbet punch:

In a shallow dish that is wider that the rim of your glasses, combine corn syrup and red food coloring. Use a toothpick to mix until the corn syrup is completely red.

In a blender, combine lime sherbet, pink grapefruit juice and club soda. Add vodka for an adult version. Blend until frothy and fully combined, about 10 seconds.

Dip the rim of each glass into the red corn syrup. Turn each glass upright and let the corn syrup drip down the sides. You probably want to use a little less than I did so that the sides of your glasses aren't filled with so many drips and there are more places to hold the glass.

    Such a beautiful recipe, Dara. I like how you have invested a part of the recipe into just the decoration, which in fact also adds to the taste. This is a drink that I am going to welcome my in-laws with when they visit me and my partner next week before Thanksgiving. I might just try it once before that so that I know what I am getting them into. LOL. Probably add some vodka too! Wish me luck!

    Thought you might like to know that the proper spelling of the frozen lime dessert is sherbet, not sherbert.

    I did wolf bite shooters with the blood drips for a Halloween party. Made the same enthusiastic mistake you did...then learned to do less and put them in the fridge immediately 🙂 They just dripped enough!!! Love the recipe!!
