Frankenstein’s Punch

JUMP TO RECIPE

Citrusy lemonade and herbal Jägermeister make the perfect pairing in this spooky punch. We’ve added monster’s eyeballs made from berry-stuffed grapes for extra eeriness and a bit of green food coloring in celebration of Frankenstein’s monster (but you can skip that if you don’t like food coloring). The result is a decorative drink to celebrate this All Hallows’ Eve.

Ingredients

2 cups sugar-free lemonade
2 shots Jägermeister
12 green grapes
6 blueberries
6 red currants
Green food coloring (optional)

Instructions

First, poke holes inside the grapes using a plastic straw. Simply place the straw at the stem of a grape and push it down.
Fill the holes with the blueberries and red currants to make “monster eyeballs.” Place the eyeballs into the freezer for 10 minutes.
In a mixing bowl or jug, mix the lemonade with the Jägermeister.
If using, add a bit of food coloring into the mixture.
Stir and fill the glasses with the punch.
Add the chilled eyeballs and serve.

Tips & Tricks

Most food coloring is synthetic. If you want something natural, go for natural and plant-sourced versions. Most are sold in dropper bottles and are a bit more expensive than synthetic food dyes.
To make the grape eyeballs more realistic, consider peeling their skins off. Start at the base and slowly peel away until only the flesh is exposed. This may be more time-consuming, but it will look more realistic.
Alternatively, you can use fresh lychees instead. Don’t go for canned versions since these are usually preserved in sugary syrup.
