Floating Hands Halloween Punch Recipes

Steps:

• To make a frozen hand, wash a disposable glove, fill with water, seal with a rubber band and freeze until hard.
• Stir together grape soft drink mix, orange soft drink mix, sugar and water until solids are dissolved. Combine with chilled ginger ale just before serving. Dip the frozen hand briefly in warm water, then peel off the glove. Float the prepared hand in the punch bowl for a ghastly effect.

Steps:

• Wash and rinse the outside of a large disposable glove. Turn glove inside out.
• Pour 1/4 cup cold water into a large bowl and sprinkle gelatin powder on top; let stand for 1 minute.
• Bring remaining 2 1/2 cups water to a boil. Pour over gelatin mixture, stirring constantly until granules are completely dissolved. Allow to cool slightly.
• Pour gelatin mixture into the glove using a funnel. Ensure that the liquid has completely filled all of the fingers. Use a rubber band to tie the top closed. Place on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid, 1 to 2 days.
• Combine 1/2 water, sugar, ginger, cinnamon sticks, and cloves in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Pass through a sieve to catch ginger pieces and spices. Let cool.
• Combine juice, sparkling water, and vodka in a large punch bowl. Stir in 1/2 of the ginger syrup. Add more syrup to reach desired flavor.
• Remove frozen hand from the freezer and dip briefly in warm water. Cut off the top of the glove. Peel away the glove carefully. Immerse the frozen hand in the punch before serving.

Steps:

• FLOATING HANDS:Water or juice, Pair of clear plastic gloves, Rubber bands or twist ties Pour water or juice into gloves, adding enough liquid to fill loosely but not so full that fingers will not move.
• Fasten closed with rubber bands or twist ties.
• Place on a paper towel lined baking sheet.
• Freeze for 3 hours (water) to 6 hours (juice) or until firm.
• Make more than one pair if you would like to replace the"hands" when they melt.
• PUNCH: Combine Juicy Juice Punch and lemonade concentrate in a large bowl; slowly stir in soda.
• Carefully cut gloves from hands with scissors and float hands in the punch.
• When the hands have melted, replace with a new pair!

Steps:

• Fill each plastic glove with water until about 2 inches (5 cm) from the opening of the glove. Twist the opening and tie into a knot.
• Place in a tray, draping some gloves over others if you want some of the fingers to appear bent. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until solid.
• Make the lychee eyeballs: Place a blueberry inside each lychee.
• Use a toothpick to paint a bit of red food coloring on the outside of the lychees to mimic veins on an eyeball. Add the lychees to a large punch bowl.
• Pour in the cranberry juice, ginger ale, reserved lychee juice, and vodka, if using.
• Remove the gloves from the freezer and run under warm water for 15 seconds. Use scissors to cut off the knot and then slide the ice out of each glove and into the punch.
• To serve, ladle punch and a couple eyeballs into glasses.
• Enjoy!
