Spooky mocktail punch
Recipe source and more details
Ingredients:
425g can lychees
225g jar cocktail cherries
15 raisins
1 liter carton blueberry, blackberry, or purple grape juice, chilled
1 liter carton cherry or cranberry juice, chilled
1 liter sparkling water, chilled
*You’ll also need disposable gloves
Instructions:
Rinse the disposable gloves and fill each with water. Tie a knot in the top of each as you would a balloon, or use a tight bag clip to hold the opening closed. Freeze overnight.
Drain the lychees and cocktail cherries, saving the juices separately. Push a raisin into one end of each cherry, then push the cherries into the lychees to make “eyeballs.”
Pour all of the juices, plus the reserved lychee and cherry juices, into a large bowl with the “eyeballs.” Carefully peel the gloves from the ice hands, add to the punch, then top up with the sparkling water.
