Drinks are often the most last minute, and sometimes forgotten element of a party. While it may be easy to just buy some water bottles, and cans of soda – making your own Halloween themed mixed drinks and punches for kids and adults alike can not only add a splash to your party, but save you some money too! Here’s some spooky sips to keep your party flowing:
It doesn’t even matter what kind of punch you make, simply freezing some water in a latex/rubber glove and putting it in your punch bowl? Instant creep.
