A Menacing Halloween Menu
Semi-homemade, but Not Semi-scary!
By Sandra Lee
Entrap a sterilized rubber hand (available at party stores) between the cauldron and the punch bowl, squeezed tight so that it appears to be reaching out of the mist for help! Pour the pitcher of brew into the cauldron's punch bowl, and grab your guests a drink – or two!
Kindred Spirits:
To create a quick bar, drape a table in black fabric or paper and lean a chalkboard with "Specialties of the Haunted House" against the wall or on an easel. List spirited concoctions, such as Bloody Marys, Zombies and Monster Margaritas, as well as fun cranberry and orange juice drinks garnished with gummy worms or Grenadine drizzled down the side of the glass to look like dripping blood.
Chill drinks with creepy cubes. Simply freeze small plastic spiders in ice cubes. (Be sure to sterilize the bugs by placing them in a pot of boiling water for five to 10 seconds.) For blood cubes, fill an ice cube tray with water, drizzle in Grenadine and freeze. (Make sure not to mix the water and Grenadine, as this will diminish the "spattered blood" effect.)
