How to Make Witch's Brew Punch

By Patrick Cameron on October 11, 2009

Halloween is a time for all those little ghouls, ghosts and the occasional princess in the house to enjoy some tasty spider and cut-off finger cookies and then wash them down with an eerie concoction called Witch's Brew. Of course, the stories you can make up will keep the kids guessing exactly what's in it, but you don't need the eye of a toad or hair of a newt for this drink.

Step 1

Dump the gelatin mix into your bucket liner. The bucket liner needs to fit inside the cauldron and will hold the brew.

Step 2

Stir in the boiling water. Do this slowly until the gelatin mix is dissolved.

Step 3

Add in the pineapple juice and let the mixture cure at room temperature for a couple of hours.

Step 4

Place your dry ice in the cauldron.

Step 5

Set the bucket liner on top of the dry ice.

Step 6

Slowly add in the ginger ale to taste.

Warnings

  • Be careful with the dry ice. Dry ice temperature is enough to severely burn skin. Use gloves when handling.
