Reusable: each of these Blood Bags has a working tube so that you can drink from it or pour it into a cup if that is too creepy. Or, you can reuse them year after year. Our first thought was to use Hibiscus tea, but I couldn’t find any at the store, so I bought passion fruit tea instead. This was actually a great choice, as it went really well with the Crystal Light Raspberry Lemonade mix. It was tangy and we knew we could add some sweet flavors to make some perfect Halloween punch recipes. Other flavors– you could sub the vodka for some rum, you could even add fresh lemon juice or lime juice. If it isn’t sweet enough, you can add some simple syrup, but all ideas will make for a happy Halloween! Blood Bag Tip: Your blood bags drinks would look awesome hanging up on a hook like a real I.V. bag as an alternative to the clear caddy. So really, this drink is a Red Russian, made with just two ingredients: vodka and cherry liqueur. If you’re not a big cherry fan, you can also use strawberry schnapps.

Filling the Blood Bags– We found that each bag takes about 2.5 syringes full of liquid. Snap the clip closed to stop liquid from coming out of the straws. Try not to overfill. Lime Juice– a sour ingredient, as well as a tropical edge to this recipe. Remember, fresh squeezed juice is best!Cool, right? This may have been done before by someone else but I refuse to look that up to find out. I am proud of myself for coming up with the idea and I’d rather live in a bubble where I’m the first one. When you make this Halloween drink there will be some foam at the top from pouring and the soda. I tried just using juice and this still occurred. The process of filling the blood bags with the syringe will add lots of air into your fake IV bag anyway, so they can’t be avoided by opting for non carbonated drinks. (You might be able to if you added the punch super slowly with the syringe but that would be very time consuming.) Simple Syrup– an optional ingredient, but depending on how sweet your pineapple and lime juices are, you may want to add a dash of homemade simple syrup to the recipe.

With the tea base, we added pineapple juice, which actually changed the color slightly, but tasted great together. From there, we started going the margarita route with silver tequila, lime juice and triple sec. (Try a Halloween Margarita) It no longer became a margarita because we then added in a little coconut rum. Because of the passion fruit tea it definitely felt tropical, so we wanted to lean into those flavors in these red alcoholic drinks.
