Witches Brew Recipe
Main ingredients:
- tub of lime sherbet
- 2 liter bottle of Ginger Ale (or 7 UP/Sprite)
- large can of Pineapple juice
Then make it festive with wacky fruit from an asian market, cut them up and describe them in front of the Scouts and anticipate some hilarious questions and reactions….describe the lychees as dragon eyes, rambutan and Longan as the eggs of various creatures, starfruit as starfish harvested by mermaids, dragon fruit for dragon eggs fresh from a fire breathing battle, passion fruit (this is a fun one as it looks a little gross inside), and whatever else you can find! Stay away from durian, it’s smelly, unless you really want to wow your scouts.
I also like to grab some pink cake decorating sugar as ground up fairy wings or dried snake venom, some gray decorating sugar for the ashes of a vampire, and perhaps some colorful liquids as potions borrowed from other witches and wizards.
MIX + ENJOY. All you do is throw everything in a punch bowl right before serving, and you’re good to go!
Tips, Variations + Storing Info
To make your witches brew smoky is actually pretty easy. You’ll need some dry ice and a couple of non glass bowls. Before I list the steps on how to get the dry ice smoking I need to give a little info about the bowls. First be sure the bowls are not glass as the COLD dry ice might crack it. Second, one of the bowls needs to be small enough to fit inside the other bowl along with a few pieces of dry ice. Now onto the directions:
- Break the dry ice into pieces using a hammer or other tool. Wear gloves and do not let your skin touch the dry ice.
- Place a few pieces of dry ice in the bottom of the larger bowl.
- Nestle the smaller bowl on top of the dry ice.
- Add warm-hot water to the larger bowl. The dry ice will start smoking.
- When you need more smoke add more small pieces of dry ice and hot water to the large bowl.
- Be very careful that no dry ice lands in the punch. It could cause harm if swallowed.
- Store extra dry ice in a cooler nearby or, if you can, under the punch table.
Other fun ideas to dress it up:
- Fill a rubber glove with water and freeze it. Once the punch is cold add the rubber glove to the punch bowl and you’ll have a floating hand keeping things cool.
- Serve the punch from a black cauldron. This is especially fun when you use dry ice.
- Add maraschino cherries to the punch
- Purchase some eyeball ping pong type balls and let them float on top of the punch.
It would be super easy to do an Orange version (Orange sherbet and orange concentrate) for another Halloween version. You could even serve it in clear cups and draw Pumpkin faces on the outside. Just an idea. 😉
You are not going to want to make this punch too far ahead of time as the soda may go flat and sherbet may melt. However, you can mix the frozen limeade and soda about an hour before serving, then add the sherbet right before serving.
Cubmaster’s Minute Halloween Edition
- Halloween
- Situational awareness.
- Brothers in military
- Know where your parent is, even while you’re excited and sprinting off to the next house. Make a visual with them, see that they’re with you and not headed the other way.
- Look both ways in the street, even if you don’t hear a car coming…cars are really quiet these days
- If you lose your group, remember S.A.W. Stay Put. Answer Back when called. Whistle…use your whistle.
• Don’t eat all your candy at once and be sure to try the weird candies like Charleston Chews or Dots, or Sunmaid Raisins, sometimes they end up being the best ones
