What could be more cute than a layered punch to serve up on Halloween? It’s really simple to make, looks adorable, and tastes great! This is an especially fun recipe for kids!
The key to making this halloween punch recipe work is to look at the sugar content on each item you are pouring! You want to go from the highest sugar content on the bottom, to the least sugar on the top in order to keep the layers separate! If you feel the colors are not rich enough, adding a drop or two of food coloring can help and won’t affect the layering.
When you pour each layer, be sure to pour very slowly over an ice cube or over the back of a spoon. The slower you can pour, the better.
It’s best if these are made just before serving! The layers will stay separated for a bit however the ice will begin to melt.
Choose whichever colors you like best for your gathering… green, purple, orange, white. Note: This seems to work best with non-carbonated drinks.

Trick or Treat Halloween Punch
Ingredients

Haha, glad you think so! Can’t wait for holiday treats later this year!
What drinks did you use
I used a Gatorade on the bottom, an orange cocktail in the middle and a sugar free Gatorade on the top (with a couple of drops of food coloring as it was light in color).
Love this idea.
Cool! Great tips for how to make it work!
Great idea! I have daughters that are grown but they love Halloween. Every year we look for new ideas for our party. Thanks!
