Key Ingredients:

Prosecco: this cocktail's base is a bubbly Prosecco! Use any bubbles you like; champagne or cava would be equally delicious.

Pomegranate Juice: pomegranate juice is fruity, tart, and a little bit earthy and is the perfect seasonal fruit juice for a spooky fall cocktail. Be sure to buy 100% pure pomegranate juice with no added sugars.

Cinnamon Simple Syrup: this recipe calls for homemade cinnamon syrup. It is incredibly easy to make and provides a lot of warm autumnal flavor to the punch!

Cotton Candy: cotton candy adds a little extra sweetness and a lot of fun Halloween flare! Pick a flavor that pairs well with this recipe; I used cherry from Target.

Tips for success:

For an extra eerie touch, consider using dry ice (handled with care) to create a smoky effect that adds drama to your Halloween punch.
Use large ice cubes so that the punch will stay chilled but not dilute the cocktail as quickly as smaller cubes.
Garnish with fun Halloween props! Plastic eyeballs, spiders, and skulls are all great additions. Just remember to clean anything you are adding to the drink thoroughly!
This punch serves 5, but you could easily make it for a larger group by doubling it to the following measurements.
- 2 bottles Prosecco
- 1 ½ cups pomegranate juice
- ¼ cup Cointreau
- 1 cup cinnamon simple syrup (double syrup recipe)
