Looking for a Halloween party drink that's easy to make and a little more festive than the usual punch? Bloody Orange Sangria layers Nectar of the Vine Blood Orange and Sangria Wine Slushy Mixes for an easy Halloween drink with a spooky, colorful twist.

For an extra-bloody Halloween look, add a drop or two of red food coloring. It's completely optional, but it gives the drink a deeper red color that's perfect for Halloween. Then finish the look with a clear glass and fresh orange slice so the vibrant colors can shine through.

How Do You Get the Layered Halloween Look?

The trick is to prepare and freeze the Blood Orange and Sangria mixes separately. When you're ready to serve, scoop alternating layers of each Wine Slushie into a clear glass so both colors stay visible.

Add the bloody effect. When you're ready to serve, scoop alternating layers of Blood Orange and Sangria into the glass. Add a tiny drop of red food coloring around the top or rim for an extra spooky effect.
