Notes
Expert Recipe Tips:
- Color depth matters – Add the black food coloring a tiny bit at a time (like the tip of a toothpick) so the punch doesn’t turn murky. A touch of black enhances the red and makes it look more realistic.
- Chill before filling – Refrigerate the punch for several hours before pouring it into the bags. This way the drinks are already cold and won’t need as much ice (which could dilute the flavor).
- Use a spouted container – A tall measuring cup or pitcher with a narrow spout makes filling the blood bags much cleaner and faster than using a funnel.
- Prevent sticky messes – Fill the bags over a large bowl or baking sheet to catch any spills and keep your counters clean.
- Don’t overfill – Leave a little space at the top of each bag before sealing to avoid leaks when transporting or chilling.
- Display for impact – Arrange the filled blood bags in a black cauldron or bucket surrounded by ice to keep them chilled and extra spooky-looking.
- Kid-friendly option – If serving to children, you can reduce the food coloring slightly; the drink will still be fun and festive without being too intense.
- Party shortcut – For a large crowd, keep some punch in a pitcher or bowl as backup so you can quickly refill bags as needed without remaking the mixture.
