    If you're hosting a Halloween party this year, you're probably brainstorming what boozy (or not*) punches you should serve.

    No Halloween gathering is complete without a themed drink, so we put together 14 of the best spooky drink ideas to serve at your party. From blood orange sangria, to smoking purple "potion," to a hot buttered apple cider, here are the big-batch cocktail recipes you'll need this Halloween.

    *Some of these recipes don't include alcohol, but if you do want to make them boozy, all you need to do is implement this ratio (courtesy of Food52): 2 parts booze : 2 parts wine : 2 parts juice (optional) : 1/2 to 1 part sweet.
