Vampire’s Pinot Punch

    

                           What’s a vampire’s favorite fruit?

                                                   …a blood orange! Thank you, I’ll be here all week.

There’s something delightfully eerie about sipping a deep red cocktail under a harvest moon, especially when it’s made with Oregon Pinot Noir. This Vampire’s Pinot Punch is part spooky, part sophisticated, and entirely sip-worthy.

With the rich, fruit-forward notes of A to Z Wineworks Pinot Noir, this crimson concoction gets a supernatural twist from blood orange and pomegranate juice, balanced by a touch of triple sec and a refreshing sparkle from ginger ale or cider. The result? A bewitching punch that’s equal parts tart, juicy, and elegant - perfect for Halloween gatherings or cozy nights in.

Whether you’re hosting a costume party or just looking to toast spooky season in style, this Vampire Pinot punch promises to cast a spell on your guests (no trickery required).
