Hosting a Halloween party? Skip making individual cocktails all night and mix up a batch of this dark, fruity Black Widow Punch instead!
The best part? You can make the base ahead of time and turn it into a cocktail OR mocktail.
🖤 BLACK WIDOW PUNCH — Serves about 12
• 2 cups vodka
• 2 cups blackberry purée (I like Real Syrups, they can be found at your local liquor store or on amazon!)
• 3 cups cranberry juice
• 1 cup fresh lime juice
• ½–1 cup simple syrup, depending on how sweet you like it
• 3 cups ginger b**r or sprite to add right before serving
• Fresh blackberries & sugar rim if you want to get fancy!
• Plenty of ice
To make:
Combine the vodka, blackberry, cranberry, lime juice, and simple syrup in a large pitcher or drink dispenser. Refrigerate until party time.
Right before serving, add the ginger b**r or sprite and ice. Garnish with fresh blackberries and you can be sugar some rims if you'd like or let guests have fun doing it themselves.
MAKE IT A MOCKTAIL:
Leave the vodka out and add a little extra ginger b**r or sprite. You can even make one big alcohol-free batch and let adults add vodka to their individual glasses.
Tipsy Traveler Tip: Freeze blackberries ahead of time and use them in place of some of your ice. They'll keep your punch cold without watering it down and they look perfectly spooky floating in the pitcher!
Want to take the presentation one step further? Add a few plastic spiders around the outside of your drink dispenser or punch bowl for a creepy Black Widow theme.
Easy. Batchable. Festive. And no bartender required so you can actually enjoy your own Halloween party!
Save this one for Halloween weekend!
