Ghost Punch

This bubbly punch with creamy ghost ice cubes tastes delicious and looks great on a Halloween beverage table. Ghouls and goblins alike will love the fruity flavors.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 pint whipping cream or half-and-half
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (46-ounce) can 100% berry or apple juice
1 (12-ounce) can frozen grape juice concentrate, thawed
1 (2-liter) bottle lemon-lime carbonated beverage, chilled
Black decorating gel

Cooking Directions:

1. Stir together whipping cream or half-and-half, sugar, and vanilla until sugar is dissolved. Place silicone ghost mold on small tray. Pour cream mixture into molds. Cover with plastic wrap, freeze for 6 hours or overnight until firm.
2. In a large punch bowl, combine berry or apple juice, grape-juice concentrate, and lemon-lime carbonated beverage. Remove cream ghosts from mold by inverting and peeling the mold away from the frozen cream mixture. Place on a chilled tray lined with plastic wrap or waxed paper. Add mouths and eyes with black decorating gel.
3. Use a spatula to place ghosts in the punch bowl. Serve immediately.

Makes 16 servings.
