Looking for a fun kid-friendly easy drink for Halloween? This Halloween Apple Cider Punch recipe or Cranberry cider is perfect. There are just three ingredients – cranberry juice,  sparkling apple cider and grenadine. You can make these up very quickly in individual portions. Having the cranberry apple cider is individual portion is great for kids. You could also use a punch bowl if desired and have cranberry apple cider punch.

 

We made these drinks in mason jars with black lids with straw holes. I love that you can change the look of the mason jars with different lids, straws and vinyl decorations. (Lots of vinyl info here) The mason jars make this a fun Halloween drink but you could change the colored top and straws and vinyl decorations and this sparkling apple cider punch could be made for many holidays or celebrations.

With kids (or even adults) it is nice to have a lid so there are no spills during your Halloween party or event. In no time at all, you can mix up this punch and have a fancy and fun Halloween beverage.

If you want to make this Halloween drink for adults, you could spike the recipe with your favorite alcohol. Both vodka and rum would pair nicely with this recipe depending on your taste preference.

Sparking Cranberry Apple Cider Punch Ingredients

4 Cups Cranberry Juice
4 cups Sparkling apple cider
4 Tbsp Grenadine
Ice

How To Make Cranberry Cider for a Halloween Drink

  • Fill the 4 8oz glasses with ice 3/4 of the way full

In winter, the girls and I love to warm up with a cup of hot cocoa. Now making yummy hot cocoa is easier than ever with Starbucks Hot Cocoa K-Cups.

I am a sucker for coffee drinks but buying them at the coffee shop can get expensive quick. You can get the same taste with our peppermint mocha recipe that you can make at home for much much less. You can make it just as fancy with whipped cream and crushed peppermints too! It really is very simple to make and you can make just one or multiply the recipe to make peppermint mochas for a crowd.

In a saucepan, whisk cocoa, sugar, milk and peppermint extract together over medium heat. Be sure to whisk briskly until hot and you have worked up a froth. Brew your favorite coffee. (If you are making just one, I like to just make a K-Cup. I like to use these expresso style K-cups)   Pour cocoa mixture into your coffee and top with whip cream if desired and garnish with candy canes. YUM!

The full printable recipe is below.

Dreamy Orange Cocktail Drink Recipe with Cake Vodka

August 28, 2013 By Heidi 2 Comments
This post may contain affiliate links that help support this site at no additional cost to you. Please read my disclosure page for more info.

 

 

I first found the recipe for this easy, three-ingredient vodka drink at a birthday party for one of my girlfriends. There were about 30 ladies at the party, having drinks, wine and appetizers to celebrate. Everyone was buzzing about how fabulous this drink was and so I had to try it out of curiosity! I loved it and I had to ask for the recipe. The flavor reminds me of those Orange Julius drinks that I used to get at the mall when I was a kid. The main ingredient is cake-flavored vodka and it really gives this cocktail a unique flavor. It’s sweet, but not too sweet since orange juice is naturally tangy. You can serve it in a martini glass to make it pretty or just a low-ball glass for an everyday cocktail. [Read more…]
