Spooky Halloween Punch

Looking for a fun and festive beverage for your family and friends this year? Don’t miss this Spooky Halloween Punch guaranteed to thrill your guests while providing them with some great nutrition.

Featuring antioxidant-rich berries and pomegranate juice, these ingredients are rich in immune-supporting vitamin C and numerous minerals such as manganese, potassium, folate, and thiamine. [1, 2]

Thanks to the natural sugar in berries—and especially in pomegranates, which contain about 4 to 5 grams of sugar per each 1/4 cup—this Spooky Halloween Punch will be a hit with even the most sweet-loving kids. But because they’re also rich in fiber, this punch won’t cause the blood sugar spikes they’ll get from their candy. [3]

So, whether you’re planning to head out to trick-or-treat, having a small gathering of friends, or planning a quiet evening at home but want to feel festive, take a few minutes to whip up a quick batch of this Spooky Halloween Punch for a fun-filled way to support your nutritional intake this Halloween. Enjoy!

Spooky Halloween Punch

Serves: 4-5

Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

10 rambutan

10 blueberries

16 ounces frozen red berry mix (raspberries, strawberries, or mixed berries)

½ cup unsweetened 100% cranberry juice 

½ cup pomegranate juice

1 liter seltzer water or club soda

Directions

1. Prepare the “eyes” by making two arc cuts lengthwise facing each other through just the skin of the rambutan. Peel away this portion of the skin leaving a wedge of the rambutan fruit visible.

2. In the center of this visible fruit, use a small paring knife or spoon to dig out a small piece, leaving a divot. Place the blueberry in the divot. It should look like an open eyeball. Set aside.

3. Blend the frozen berries with the juices. 

4. Pour into a shallow punch bowl and place the rambutan “eyes” on top so they float.

5. Ladle punch with an eye into a glass and top with seltzer water or club soda.

6. Have fun and enjoy!
