Start Here: What to Read First?
What You’ll Need
- 1 packet cherry Kool-Aid powder
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 2 quarts cold water
- 1 liter 7UP or Sprite
- 12 oz pineapple juice
- Plasma drink bags (you can find these at party stores or online)
- Syringe or funnel
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix the Kool-Aid Base
Take a large pitcher or bowl and add your cherry Kool-Aid powder in. Add 1 ½ cups of sugar. Pour in 2 quarts of cold water and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. You should already be starting to get that scary, blood-red color.
2. Add the Fizz & Flavor
Now pour in 1 liter of 7UP (or Sprite if that’s what you have right now) and then add 12 ounces of pineapple juice. Shake it all together and watch your spookiness come to life. The pineapple juice adds a tangy sweetness that balances out the Kool-Aid perfectly.
3. Fill the “Plasma Bags”
This is where the real Halloween magic is going to happen in this recipe. Using the syringe (or funnel) that came with the plasma bag, dip it into your punch, draw up the liquid and pour it into the bag. Continue until the bag is full, then seal it so it doesn’t fall out.
Serving Tips for Extra Spooky Fun
- Chill Before Serving: Place the filled bags in the fridge until party time. Cold “blood bags” look even more realistic.
- Add Labels: Handwrite spooky labels like Vampire Plasma, Zombie Serum or Witch’s Elixir.
- Use Straws: Place a black or striped straw directly into the bag and sip it like you’re in a haunted hospital.
- Glow Factor: Place your filled bags in a big bowl of ice and add a glow stick or two underneath.
