I love Halloween and if you could see my home, you’ll see how true this is. You see, the props in the pictures are nothing I bought specially for this post. They are actually items currently displayed and that are currently being used in my home (like the scorpion glass below).
If this Halloween Scorpion Venom Punch is not scary enough for you, check out my frightening Halloween skull and dagger cake. It is a fun Halloween party centerpiece and have everyone talking.
Halloween punch with or without alcohol
You can make 2 batches of this drink, 1 for the kids without alcohol (mocktail) and a fun one for the adults with vodka. This way the kids will feel like they’re drinking the same thing as the adults.
If you’ve been a long time reader, you’ll be familiar with the Brownie Graveyard I made a few years ago and the Halloween popcorn (pictured below) which would be a perfect snack and dessert to serve with this punch.

If you’re looking for more spooky sips, try my Blood Orange Martini (complete with spider and web) or a Halloween Spooky Screwdriver—both pictured below. Halloween is the perfect holiday to play, decorate, and get creative, and the props and party items in stores are cooler than ever.
The focus of this Halloween party punch is not some much the drink itself, even though it is delicious in its simplicity, its all about the look. The look of scorpion venom for a creepy Halloween drink.
I don’t know what color scorpion venom actually is—and I don’t ever want to—but bright yellow works for me. It even looks like it could glow in the dark. You could also use green Jell-O for a ghoulish green Halloween punch, or combine both for extra fun!
Halloween props
Laboratory beakers make a fun and spooky way to serve this drink, and you can find a great selection at Michael’s craft store. The scorpion skeleton is a favorite prop we picked up last year, and the skull vodka bottle has a permanent spot on our bar alongside the other decanters.

I’m so happy everyone loved the punch, thank you for your feedback.
The jello won’t congeal? It will be a liquid drink correct?
Correct, this is a liquid drink. The jello mix is used mostly for the color.
What flavor is the lemon Jello mix? Thank you!
It is lemon flavored. Thanks for stopping by.
This drink is perfect for my husband’s birthday party he is a Scorpio! I would love to make this how much does this make? We are having about 25 – 30 guest and wanted to make this his signature drink.
Hi Latora, It’s a great idea that you are serving this drink for your husbands birthday. The recipe serves 4 people, times the measurements by 7 and you will be able to serve 28 people 1 drink each. I hope this helps and I hope he loves it.
YES! I love this recipe! Holloween is my favorite time of year and I’m kinda obsessed with throwing Halloween parties! I don’t have time to have a party this year, but I’m pinning this so I can remember it next year. Awesome job 🙂
Can this cocktail premade or does it have to be served right away? Thanks!
Hi Sarah, the drink can be made ahead, that way it can stay nice and chilled in the fridge. Enjoy! 🙂
