Witches Brew Sangria (Halloween Cocktail with Dry Ice)
This spooky Witches Brew Sangria is the ultimate Halloween party cocktail. Made with red wine, citrus, sparkling water, and a splash of bourbon, it bubbles over with a dramatic dry ice effect. Easy to mix up in a cauldron for parties or sip while handing out candy on Halloween night.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 bottles of red wine recommend Apothic Dark
- 1 blood orange sliced
- 1 lime sliced
- 24 ounces sparking mineral water chilled
- Bourbon optional
- Dry ice optional (see note)
Instructions
- Combine the wine, fruit, and sparking water in a large container.
- Serve bourbon on the side in test tubes.
- Place a chunk of dry ice in cauldron or punch bowl for a spooky effect.
Notes
- Wine: Any medium-bodied fruity red wine works well. Apothic Dark, Tempranillo, Garnacha, or Primitivo are all good choices.
- Dry ice: Handle with care! Always use gloves or tongs, and never touch it with bare skin. Wait until the dry ice has fully melted before sipping.
- Make-ahead: Mix the wine and fruit up to 48 hours in advance. Add sparkling water and dry ice just before serving for best results.
- Liquor swaps: Bourbon adds warmth, but rum, vodka, tequila, or brandy also taste great. Serve liquor in test tubes or shot glasses for guests to customize.
- Kid-friendly option: Replace the sangria with Agua de Jamaica (hibiscus tea), Calientito (pear cider), or Mexican hot chocolate for a spooky non-alcoholic brew.
