Witch’s Party Recipe 101

Think about if you were to throw a witches party, what are some of the most popular recipe items related to witches. First you have their infamous bubbling caldron and flying broom sticks! A witch could not be a witch without the disgusting warts, and hanging out with bats, rats, and other creepy crawlers. Keep in mind if you want to create another theme, just apply the same principle in writing down all the things related to help you get your ideas flowing.

Alright, you have the basic necessities for you party, and now you need to come up with some food recipe ideas to make this party rock! With all the ideas you have written down for your theme, it’s time to brainstorm and tell yourself, what would my party need to fulfill this Halloween theme.

Every Witch’s party needs their very own brew concoction, and so your first step is to experiment a little and the best way to do this is to mix a variety of beverages together to make it your very own. I like to take juices and pop and mix them to make a distinct yet delicious taste, and if you’re all about the gruesome looks, my favourite choice is combining the V8 fruit and vegetable cocktail with your favourite pop, such as ginger ale or 7-Up. Add a little touch of green food colouring for additional ghastly looks, and you will have a delicious tasting witch’s brew.

Once you concocted your specially created Halloween beverage, visit your local retail store and pick up one of those plastic caldrons to really make your theme work. If it’s in your budget, consider putting dry ice in your beverage to give it that smoking effect you see in most witches brew, and to find out more on dry ice, I recommend that you visit this Dry Ice source: www.dryiceandgases.com/faq.htm for more information and safety tips.

Now that you have your Halloween party theme and some great food and beverage ideas, your next step is to start decorating your place with your theme in mind, and you can get some great witch decorations at your local party store, or if you enjoy shopping online, there are many stores that provide a variety of themes to choose from.

Have fun and remember, creating your theme first will make it so much easier for you to find the right food recipes to compliment your Halloween party.
