Eerie Witch's Brew

Sweet-tart cranberry and apple juices with bright orange and lime notes, warmed by candied ginger and finished with fizzy ginger ale for lift. Visually striking deep red punch studded with grapes and long orange 'worms', elevated by a smoky dry-ice effect, great as a spooky, crowd-pleasing non-alcoholic centerpiece. It's a fun, flavor-forward seasonal punch that balances sweetness with zesty citrus and a hint of ginger spice.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Cranberry Juice Cocktail
  • 1 cup Crystallized Ginger
  • 3 Orange
  • 12 oz Frozen Apple Juice Concentrate
  • 6 oz Frozen Limeade Concentrate
  • 2 cups Grapes
  • 4 cups Water
  • Fill Ginger Ale

Instructions

  1. Begin by bringing 1 cup of cranberry juice to a boil with the chopped and candied ginger in a small pan over high heat.
  2. Allow the mixture to boil for about 2 minutes, then set it aside to cool.
  3. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the colored peel from the oranges, cutting them into long thin strips resembling worms.
  4. Combine the orange peel with the cranberry-ginger mixture and cover. Chill the mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.
  5. Juice the prepared oranges and add the juice to a large 6 to 8-quart pan or a heavy bowl.
  6. Incorporate the chilled cranberry-ginger mixture along with the remaining 3 cups of cranberry juice cocktail, frozen apple juice concentrate, frozen limeade concentrate, grapes, and water into the bowl.
  7. Cover and chill the mixture for up to 2 hours to enhance the flavors.
  8. For serving, incorporate ginger ale and a piece of dry ice for a dramatic effect. Ensure the dry ice is large enough to release smoke for about 30 minutes (do not add small pieces directly to cups).
  9. Serve the punch in cups, replenishing dry ice as needed to maintain the effect.
