Dracula's Usual (Blood Orange Punch)
For a bloody good cocktail, why not mix up a big batch of Dracula's favorite - a blood orange punch! This one can easily be made non-alcoholic for both children and adults to enjoy.
Equipment
- Glass pitcher or punch bowl
- Rock glass
Ingredients
- 25 ounces blood orange juice or freshly squeezed orange juice chilled
- 12 ounces natural orange soda San Pellegrino Aranciata, chilled
- 3 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
- 8 ounces Bacardi light rum
- 5 dashes Angostura Orange bitters
- 1 blood orange slices
Instructions
- Fill an ice cube tray (or two) with 1-1/2 cups orange juice and freeze for later.
- Stir together remaining orange juice, soda, lime juice, rum and bitters into a punch bowl or pitcher (enough for 16 cups).
- Before serving, add orange slices and orange juice ice cubes to keep chilled.
- For a Virgin's Dracula Punch, eliminate the rum and bitters and add 8-12 ounces dark cherry or pomegranate juice. Sweeten as needed.
