Notes

Can I Make this Halloween Punch in Advance?

Yes. You will want to freeze the hand and freeze most of the liquids before your party. You can do this one day in advance or several days in advance
Leftovers: Keep your soda bottle for leftovers. Use a kitchen funnel to pour any leftovers back into your soda bottle and store it in the fridge

Can I Make more than One Frozen Hand for this Punch?

Yes! It would look very cool with a few hands floating. However, be careful with adding too much liquid into this recipe. This punch will go full to the rim of your punch bowl and any more liquid like some from a melted hand could possibly make it too full.

How Many Servings will this Party Punch serve?

This punch serves 45 or more guests

Can I Substitute any juices in this punch?

Yes, some good juice substitutions would be...
  • frozen limeade concentrate instead of lemonade concentrate
  • orange juice instead pineapple juice
  • use strawberry in place of cherry Jell-O
  • substitute a clear drink for the green Hawaiin punch. Clear hands would be just as spooky

Tips and Tricks

  • make more than one frozen hand. You can replace a melted one with a new one or use it just in case the first one doesn't turn out too well
  • broken fingers are fine. Just lay them close to where they would go. A dislocated finger is even spookier anyway
  • layer 2 clear gloves for added support - this will help in case the seam of one glove splits
  • another layer of support would be placing the filled gloves into a baggie to prevent any spillage
  • set the punch out at least an hour before your party, so the frozen drink can start to melt and turn into a liquid slush
