&lt;p&gt;Ingredients:&lt;br /&gt;
For Ice Hand:&lt;br /&gt;
1 powder-free vinyl glove&lt;br /&gt;
water&lt;br /&gt;
For the Punch:&lt;br /&gt;
2 cups fresh or bottled beet juice (see note below on availability)&lt;br /&gt;
1 12-ounce package frozen raspberries&lt;br /&gt;
1/4 cup sugar&lt;br /&gt;
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice&lt;br /&gt;
12 ice cubes&lt;br /&gt;
2 cups vodka&lt;br /&gt;
3/4 cup Grand Marnier&lt;br /&gt;
1 cup seltzer&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Directions:&lt;br /&gt;
Make ice hands: Fill several gloves about two-thirds full with water and tie a knot in the end to seal (do not overfill gloves, as water will expand during freezing). Drape glove over a curved object in freezer (an empty wine bottle, balled up newspaper or a bag of peas all work well) so hand appears more lifelike. Freeze at until solid, about eight hours (overnight). Put glove in punch when ready to serve.&lt;br /&gt;
To unmold ice hands: Using scissors or a craft knife, cut open the glove starting at the knotted end, and peeling and cutting it down towards the fingers. Work carefully -- the fingers are fragile. Don't panic if a finger falls off; it'll just make the hand look more ghoulish. Keep ice hands in freezer until ready to serve punch.&lt;br /&gt;
Make punch: Put beet juice, raspberries, sugar, lemon juice and ice cubes in a blender and blend until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Strain mixture through a medium mesh sieve into a punch bowl. Stir in vodka, Grand Marnier and seltzer. Add ice hands just before serving.&lt;br /&gt;
Note: You can find fresh beet juice at juice bars, health food stores and some supermarkets such as Whole Foods.&lt;/p&gt;</media:description><media:credit role="owner" scheme="urn:yvs"></media:credit></media:content><media:content url="http://m.static.newsvine.com/servista/imagesizer?file=ProgressiveGrae6BC042FC-F282-0297-6247-767D11DCE3C6.jpg&amp;width=400" type="image/jpeg" medium="image" height="250" width="200" ><media:thumbnail url="http://m.static.newsvine.com/servista/imagesizer?file=ProgressiveGrae6BC042FC-F282-0297-6247-767D11DCE3C6.jpg&amp;width=120" width="120" height="150" /><media:description type="plain">&lt;p&gt;Dark and Stormy Death Punch:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ingredients:&lt;br /&gt;
One 20-ounce can lychees in heavy syrup&lt;br /&gt;
1/4 cup thinly sliced peeled fresh ginger&lt;br /&gt;
16 brandied cherries&lt;br /&gt;
1/4 cup superfine sugar&lt;br /&gt;
1/2 cup fresh lime juice&lt;br /&gt;
12 ounces dark rum&lt;br /&gt;
Three 12-ounce bottles ginger beer&lt;br /&gt;
Ice cubes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Directions:&lt;br /&gt;
1. In a small saucepan, bring the lychee syrup and ginger to a boil.  Remove from the heat, cover and let steep for 30 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
2. Meanwhile, stuff 16 lychees with brandied cherries. Set each lychee in the cup of a mini muffin pan or in an ice cube tray. Strain the lychee-ginger syrup and pour it over the lychees. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.&lt;br /&gt;
3. Meanwhile, in a pitcher, stir the sugar into the lime juice until dissolved. Add the rum and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.&lt;br /&gt;
4. Unmold the lychee ice cubes into a small punch bowl. Pour in the lime-rum mixture. Add the ginger beer, stir gently and serve in ice-filled glasses.&lt;/p&gt;</media:description><media:credit role="owner" scheme="urn:yvs"></media:credit></media:content><media:content medium="video" url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNZJLHnsGZc" ><media:thumbnail url="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/CNZJLHnsGZc/default.jpg" /><media:description type="plain">&quot;Bad Moon Rising&quot; </media:description><media:credit role="owner" scheme="urn:yvs"></media:credit></media:content><media:content medium="video" url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhSc8qVMjKM" ><media:thumbnail url="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nhSc8qVMjKM/default.jpg" /><media:description type="plain">Werewolves of London.</media:description><media:credit role="owner" scheme="urn:yvs"></media:credit></media:content><media:content medium="video" url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOnqjkJTMaA" ><media:thumbnail url="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/sOnqjkJTMaA/default.jpg" /><media:description type="plain"> Michael Jackson performing Thriller. </media:description><media:credit role="owner" scheme="urn:yvs"></media:credit></media:content><media:content medium="video" url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FXoyr_FyFw" ><media:thumbnail url="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_FXoyr_FyFw/default.jpg" /><media:description type="plain">Toccata &amp;amp; Fugue in d minor</media:description><media:credit role="owner" scheme="urn:yvs"></media:credit></media:content></item><item><title>Branson Vinemeet 2012: Kavika's New Home</title>
