Witches' Brew Punch is a batch-friendly Halloween bowl drink: vodka lengthened with Concord grape juice, lemon, and ginger ale for lift. The color reads theatrical purple without food dye when Concord grape leads. Served over ice from a pitcher or punch bowl, it is built for costume-party volume rather than one-off craft pours.

“Purple 'witches' brew' punches are a modern Halloween hosting default, borrowing the color language of cauldron props more than any single historical recipe.”

Bartender's Note
Add ginger ale only at service so the punch stays lively. A splash of blue curaçao deepens the purple if the grape juice runs pale.
