Halloween Punch Ingredients; Notes, Substitutes, & Alternatives
- Frozen blueberries: Any frozen or fresh berry will work, obviously the color of the punch will change depending on the berry used. I find the blueberries give a great purple witches brew color.
- Honey: This can be substituted for your favorite sweetener including maple syrup, sugar or stevia.
- Water: The tap water is needed for cooking the blueberries.
- Lychees: I use canned lychees for this recipe
- Lemon juice: This punch is nicest with a little lemon juice to cut through the sweetness it also gives brightness to the blueberry flavors, and enhances their colour making them even more vibrantly purple!
- Soda water chilled: By soda water I mean sparkling carbonated water. This might be called seltzer or club soda in your part of the world. This could be substituted for lemonade or lemon-lime soda. If you are doing this you will not need to add the honey or sweetener to the berries.
