Slow Cooker Vampire Punch
Hawaiian punch and ginger ale look scary, but taste sweet! Though dry ice looks dramatic in individual cups, as pictured, we don't recommend it. Instead, wrap a large chunk of ice in cheesecloth and stash it in the punch bowl for the fog effect. That way, no one runs the risk of accidentally swallowing a shard.
The Endless Meal
Blackberry Lavender Soda
Blackberries give this fizzy brew a spooky shade of purple-red, but don't let that fool you – it's incredibly refreshing to drink.
