A Halloween party will be thrilled by this witch's brew, disguised as a punch made from cucumbers, jalapeños, lime juice, sugar, and soda. Besides the explosive citrus flavor with the spiciness of chili peppers, this "potion" will also delight with its eerie bright green color. For added credibility, toss gummy worms or eyeballs into each serving. You can also make an adult version by replacing most of the lemon-lime soda with gin.
