Now, after we had some food let's talk about potions...I mean cocktails.

Bone-Chilling Black Martini

3 ½ oz. black vodka
½ oz. raspberry liqueur
Crushed white rock candy

Mix the black vodka with the black raspberry liqueur in a cocktail shaker with ice. Rim the glasses with crushed bits of white rock candy. Tie on a single bone with black tulle and enjoy your spooky drink.

Disclaimer: If you are under the legal drinking age do not drink this potion or you may turn into a mule!

For those of you who do not like such strong potions there is an alternative:

Dragon's Blood Punch

1 (46-ounce) can red punch (recommended: Hawaiian Punch)
1 (46-ounce) can apple juice
1 (48-ounce) bottle cranberry juice
1 (2-liter) bottle ginger ale
Ice cubes

Combine all ingredients in a large punch bowl or pot. Add ice and stir.

And now I will tell you the greatest secret of them all. You can make any drink magical by putting some Dry Ice in it. It's actually the solid form of carbon dioxide. It's very cold (-109.3°F or -78.5°C) so it must be handled with extreme caution; if you need to break it into smaller pieces you must wear gloves and goggles. It is best not to store Dry Ice in your freezer because your freezer's thermostat will shut off the freezer due to the extreme cold of the Dry Ice! If you follow all the safety instructions your party will be a huge success and you will have this amazing effect:

O well done! I commend your pains;
And every one shall share i' the gains;
And now about the cauldron sing,
Live elves and fairies in a ring,
Enchanting all that you put in.
