Freeze water in a latex glove and then pour it into your punch. Other versions of this that I&#8217;ve seen had red colored water that they then froze and the effect was that the hand stood out a little less from the red punch. Try it out and see which effect you prefer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>11.
