Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this as a large batch?
Yes, this recipe is perfect for a crowd. Simply multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you need and combine them in a punch bowl. For a spooky effect, add dry ice to the bowl just before serving.
What kind of red wine should I use?
A dry red wine such as a Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon works best. Avoid using a wine that is too sweet, as the mixers will add plenty of sugar.
What about the garnish?
Faux vampire teeth and maraschino cherries are great for a Halloween theme. Other spooky garnishes could include floating gummy worms, sliced blood oranges, or even licorice twists.
