This creepy black Halloween Vodka Punch is perfect for parties and is terrifyingly delicious. With fresh lemon juice, honeycrisp apple juice and ginger beer, this is a quick and easy vodka cocktail that is great for a crowd!
Make sure that all your ingredients are chilled well before you start!
To a pitcher, add water, apple juice, lemon juice and vodka.
Add charcoal powder and mix well (use a whisk to ensure no clumps).
Top with ginger beer and stir gently.
Pour into a punch bowl or serve in a pitcher.
The color will separate so plan on stirring regularly, especially right before stirring.
Notes
If you don't want to take the time to squeeze 1 1/2 cups of fresh lemon juice, you can use bottled. The flavor will change a bit.
You'll need to taste and adjust based on the finished product. You may need to add a little simple syrup if it's too bitter.
Activated charcoal gets all over the place so take care when using it. It does wash off your hands pretty easily (and did not stain my grout either, but did stain my spatula).
You can make this punch ahead but wait to add the ginger beer until ready to serve.
