Halloween IV Bag Drink Ingredients: 

Let’s talk ingredients to make these Halloween themed cocktails:

• IV Bags: Get food-safe, disposable IV blood bags. You can find blood bag kits online or in party stores. 
• Vodka: The spirit of choice for this Halloween punch. You’ll need about 2 cups for this spooky drink. 
• Lime/Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice gives the punch a zesty kick. Use ½ cup.
• Simple Syrup: Sweetens up the punch perfectly. You’ll need ½ cup.
• Soda Water: Use 2 cups of soda water for some fizz.
• Red Food Coloring: A few drops to give the punch that deep “blood” look. 
• Ice Cubes: Keeps the Halloween drinks cold and refreshing.
• Grenadine (Optional):  You can keep it simple, or for extra flair, use the syringe to inject grenadine into the bags.

How to Make Spooky Halloween IV Bag Drinks: 

1. Mix the punch base. In a large pitcher, combine the vodka, lemon or lime juice, and simple syrup. Stir in 2 cups of soda water for dilution, depending on how fizzy you want the punch.
2. Add the blood effect. Add a few drops of red food coloring to the mixture and stir until the punch reaches a deep red, a fun blood like color.
3. Fill the bags. Using a funnel, carefully pour the punch into each IV bag, leaving a bit of space for ice. You’ll want to fill the bags about ¾ of the way to avoid spilling. Press along the top tightly to seal.
4. Chill the bags. Add a few ice cubes to each IV bag to keep the drinks cold. Or store the bags in the fridge a day in advance.
5. Use the syringe. For an interactive touch, fill small syringes with grenadine or extra red food coloring and let guests inject their “vampire blood” into their drinks for an extra dramatic flair.
6. Serve. Lay the blood bags out on a tray, next to a Halloween charcuterie board or with some plastic vampire teeth, and watch your guests enjoy this delicious drink. 

Notes, Tips, and Possible Substitutions:

• Non-alcoholic cocktail: Simply omit the vodka and use more soda water or lemon-lime soda for a kid-friendly version.
• Adjust the sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter punch, add more simple syrup or swap soda water for pomegranate juice, black cherry juice, cranberry juice, orange juice, or fruit punch!
• Variations: You can change the flavor by swapping vodka with rum or tequila and adjust the food coloring for your next Halloween party.

This Halloween cocktail will be the highlight of your next party, perfect for spooky season! With simple ingredients and playful presentation, you want to serve this recipe next time you host a Halloween party.
