Simple Syrup– an optional ingredient, but depending on how sweet your pineapple and lime juices are, you may want to add a dash of homemade simple syrup to the recipe. Other flavors– you could sub the vodka for some rum, you could even add fresh lemon juice or lime juice. If it isn’t sweet enough, you can add some simple syrup, but all ideas will make for a happy Halloween! Carbonation– we don’t advise putting any carbonated liquids into the blood bags. If you are serving in a punch bowl, you can add some carbonation like ginger ale, tonic water, orange seltzer, or lemon lime soda to this adult beverage to make it effervescent.

I’ve made fake blood in the past. A few years ago I made a fun Halloween popcorn and called it bloody bones popcorn. I realized the same mixture I used to cover the popcorn would also harden and appear like blood and dare I say flesh. Ewww, right?It works great if you are making the popcorn already but it makes a lot and it is very hot so you have to be careful. It also takes a bit more effort to wash so I wanted to come up with the easiest way to make fake blood. Tequila– we used tequila blanco, but you can use a Reposado or Anejo if that is what you have on hand. With the tea base, we added pineapple juice, which actually changed the color slightly, but tasted great together. From there, we started going the margarita route with silver tequila, lime juice and triple sec. (Try a Halloween Margarita) It no longer became a margarita because we then added in a little coconut rum. Because of the passion fruit tea it definitely felt tropical, so we wanted to lean into those flavors in these red alcoholic drinks. A blood bag drink can be extra spooky when you entertain guests at your Halloween party!
