I think if you add rum to any of these you'll have a hit to celebrate the Sox!... Some Halloween possibilities from BHG:


Ghoul's Punch

8 (about 10-ounce) servings
Prep: 20 minutes
Freeze: 8 to 24 hours

Ingredients

* 6 cups unsweetened pineapple juice, chilled
* 3 cups cold water
* 1 6-ounce can frozen lemonade concentrate
* 4 blood orange or orange slices
* 1 recipe Frozen Hands (see recipe below)

Directions

1. For punch, in a punch bowl stir together pineapple juice, water, and lemonade concentrate. Float orange slices and Frozen Hands in punch. Makes 8 (about 10-ounce) servings.

Frozen Hands: Carefully pour cranberry juice cocktail into 2 or 3 clear plastic gloves.* Fill the gloves so that the fingers can move easily. Tightly seal the gloves with rubber bands. Place on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Freeze until firm. Use scissors to cut the gloves off the frozen hands. If any fingers break off, add them separately to punch.

*Note: Be sure to use gloves without powder. Or, rinse powdered gloves thoroughly before using.

Fruit Drink Spritzer with Wiggle Worm Ice


10 (8-ounce) servings
Prep: 20 minutes
Freeze: 4 hours

Ingredients

* 1 12-ounce can frozen pineapple-orange juice concentrate
* 1 12-ounce can apricot nectar, chilled
* 2 12-ounce cans lemon-lime carbonated beverage, chilled
* 1 6-ounce can frozen pineapple-orange juice concentrate
* Chewy, fruit-flavored candy worms

Directions

1. For ice, prepare one 6-ounce can frozen pineapple-orange juice concentrate. Arrange chewy fruit worms in the bottom of a 4-cup ring mold. Pour juice into mold to almost cover worms. Do not allow the worms to float. Cover and place in freezer for 1 hour or until frozen. Add any remaining juice to mold. Cover and freeze until firm.

2. In a small punch bowl, prepare the 12-ounce can pineapple-orange juice concentrate according to package directions, using cold water. Stir in the apricot nectar. Add the carbonated beverage, stirring gently to mix. Unmold the ice ring by running cool water over outside of mold; carefully add ring to punch. Makes 10 (8-ounce) servings.

Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare ice ring and store in freezer up to 2 weeks before using.
