Floating Hands Halloween Punch
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 24
Ingredients:
- 2 cups water or juice
- 1 pair of clear plastic gloves
- 4 rubber bands or twist ties
- 1 container (64 ounces) Juicy Juice Punch
- 1 can (12 ounces) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 2 liters lemon-lime soda
Instructions:
For the Floating Hands:
-
Prepare the Hands: Begin by filling the clear plastic gloves with water or juice, ensuring they are filled loosely enough to allow movement but not so full that the fingers become immobile.
-
Secure the Gloves: Fasten the open ends of the gloves closed using rubber bands or twist ties, ensuring a tight seal to prevent any leaks.
-
Freeze the Hands: Place the prepared gloves on a baking sheet lined with paper towels to prevent sticking. Freeze them for approximately 3 hours if using water, or 6 hours if using juice, until they are completely firm.
-
Make Extra Hands: For extended enjoyment, consider making additional pairs of frozen hands to replace them as they melt during the party, ensuring a continuous eerie effect throughout the event.
For the Punch:
-
Prepare the Punch Base: In a large punch bowl, combine the Juicy Juice Punch and thawed lemonade concentrate. Stir gently to blend the flavors.
-
Add the Fizz: Slowly pour in the lemon-lime soda, stirring gently to incorporate. Be cautious not to stir too vigorously to avoid excessive fizzing.
-
Assemble the Punch: Carefully cut the rubber bands or twist ties from the frozen gloves using scissors. Remove the gloves from the frozen hands, taking care not to damage the hands themselves.
-
Float the Hands: Place the severed hands into the prepared punch bowl, allowing them to float ominously on the surface of the punch.
-
Serve and Replace: As your guests enjoy the chilling spectacle of the floating hands, monitor the melting progress. When the hands begin to melt, replace them with fresh pairs to maintain the eerie ambiance throughout the event.
This Floating Hands Halloween Punch is guaranteed to be the highlight of your spooky celebration, captivating guests of all ages with its hauntingly delightful appearance and refreshing taste. Serve it alongside your favorite Halloween treats for a truly memorable fright night experience! 🎃👻
