HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Throwing a Halloween Party tonight?  Or need something frightening when the kids get home from Trick or Treating?  Or just staying in and watching old monster films on TV?  Well, I’ve got the perfect brew for you!  Dracula’s Blood Punch is a sweet and tasty punch just perfect for a night like tonight.  Only one thing could improve on it … if a storm should blow in some lightning and thunder.  BOO!!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!

Dracula's Blood

If you can find wax or plastic fangs, they can float in the punch.

2 3 oz. packages cherry gelatin
1 cup sugar
2 cups boiling water
4 cups cold water
1 package cherry flavored unsweetened drink mix (such as Kool-aid)
2 quarts cranberry juice cocktail, chilled

Dissolve the gelatin and sugar in the boiling water, stirring well. Stir in the cold water and unsweetened drink mix; transfer to a bowl. Refrigerate until the gelatin is nearly set, 2-3 hours. Alternatively, you can just leave the mixture on the counter and it will jell, but it will take much longer.

Pour the gelatin mixture into a punchbowl; stir in the cranberry juice cocktail.  Makes 18 servings.
