Your guests will be reeling (in a good way) from this punch! The recipe for Kill Devil Punch came to Food & Wine Magazine from Phil Ward, bartender at the aptly named Death & Co. It features a block of raspberry ice that melts, slowly releasing its juices (a.k.a. raspberry blood) into the bowl throughout the evening.

Ingredients

Raspberry Ice

  • 12 ounces water
  • 18 raspberries

Punch

  • 9 ounces amber rum
  • 6 ounces pineapple juice
  • 5 ounces simple syrup
  • 4 ounces fresh lime juice
  • 5 ounces chilled champagne
  • 12 raspberries
  • 12 lime wheels

Directions

  1. Make the Raspberry Ice: Pour the water into a plastic container and arrange 12 raspberries in the container. Freeze for at least 6 hours.
  2. Make the Punch: In a pitcher, combine the rum, pineapple juice, simple syrup and lime juice and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
  3. Stir the punch and strain it into a punch bowl. Add the raspberry-studded ice. Pour in the chilled champagne and stir once. Garnish the punch with the raspberries and lime wheels. Ladle into teacups or small rocks glasses.
Below we've picked a few spooky items to give your Halloween party some bite. Have a creepy Halloween!

Yummy punch! I'm looking forward to giving it a tray. Has alot of my favorites.

We make a similar drink to this every Christmas - it's perfect for summertime Christmases.

You steep crushed raspberries in a cup of gin for a few hours then strain it - you have a lovely fragrant pink gin.

Mix the gin with half a bottle of chilled hock-style wine (a dry white).

Add half a bottle of lemonade & half of sparkling mineral water.

Stir in a few shots of kirsch or raspberry liqueur.

Decorate with lime slices, fresh raspberries, & ice cubes with raspberries & mint leaves frozen in them.

It's very pretty & festive & tastes amazing - but it's very easy to drink way too much!

Yummy! I used to make vampire blood punch. 4 liters cherry soda, 4 liters Dr. P soda and one bottle vodka. Tastes great looks wicked. Float in some bug filled cubes and some plastic creepys.
