Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (13.5 oz) cans full-fat coconut milk, chilled overnight
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract (optional)
- 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Plastic vampire teeth (for garnish)
- Gummy worms (for garnish)
- Dry ice (for fog effect, handle with protective gloves only)
Instructions
- Combine berries, 1/2 cup sugar, water, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until syrupy. Strain and refrigerate until cold.
- Whisk together chilled coconut milk, heavy cream, 1/4 cup sugar, vanilla extract, and coconut extract in a large punch bowl. Chill for at least 1 hour.
- For individual servings, fill glasses 3/4 full with the coconut mixture. Slowly pour 1-2 tablespoons of berry “blood” over the back of a spoon into each glass.
- Garnish with plastic vampire teeth on glass rims and gummy worms. For fog effect, place dry ice in a separate container within your punch bowl setup (never directly in the drinkable portion).
- For a punch bowl presentation, pour coconut base into serving vessel, then carefully add berry syrup around the edges to create dramatic streaks.
- Serve immediately for the most dramatic visual effect.
