Witches Brew Apple Cider

You can serve it either way. I prefer it a bit warm at least, especially on hot days. But Halloween is one of those holidays, especially depending on where you live, that the weather could go either way — hot or chilly.
You can serve this apple cider punch warm from a crockpot, or get festive and serve it from a cauldron punch bowl!

It's actually easier than you might think to transform and ordinary apple into a spooky face!
First, peel the apples then float each one in the cider to see which side faces up. Use that side to carve your face.
To craft the face, carefully carve out eyes, a nose and a mouth using the sharp end of the peeler or a paring knife. You can make the facial features in whatever shapes you want. I like to get inspired by pumpkin faces, so think triangle eyes, toothy grins, and you can even add eyebrows to really make the faces come to life.
Once you've carved your apple head, simply return them to the punch bowl and let them float them on top of the punch. c
Once the punch is finished, you can eat the apples or you can leave them out to dry. Once they dry for about a week, the skin turns brown in color and starts to wrinkle. They really begin to look spooky then!

Try adding Tennessee Honey Whiskey. It tastes absolutely delicious with the apple cider! Caramel vodka also pairs well with cider.

Try adding dry ice to the punch to create a creepy fog that drifts out of the bowl. Just be sure to handle dry ice with tongs or thick gloves and make sure no solid pieces are ingested. Add it right before serving, keep the area ventilated, and consider containing it in a mesh bag so it’s safe for guests.
Another ideas is adding a layer of froth — add a few scoops of orange sherbet to the punch to create a filmy top.
