My two youngest children have birthdays just before and after Halloween. So each year we have a combined birthday and Halloween party for all ages, adults and children.
The main drink served every year is a "Blood Cocktail" made from mixed fruit juices, soda water and blood coloured with fruit pulp from raspberries, blueberries, red dragon fruit and other red fruit.
This year I have made the perfect cooler to serve it.

Signing UpStep 1The base cooler
I purchased a new, approximately 20 Litre "Everest" cooler from a local supplier. It cost about $15 and is ideal for a couple of reasons. It is red(!), the lid handle unscrews and it comes with a little basket in the top.
Red is important because it is the colour of blood. The basket will hold a bowl with bricks of dry ice and some hot water, giving a required eerie look as the mist pours out of the hole in the lid, or the "mouth" if the lid is kept open by the lid handle, as in the first photo .

I thought of that and have an old "Werewolf's" hand I wasgoing to use, with the handle coming out of the back of the hand and thedrink from the middle finger, but there will be young children at theparty and I did not want to gross them out.
