Description
A vibrant, eerie green punch perfect for Halloween parties, combining sweet pineapple and orange with tangy limeade and fizzy lemon-lime soda for a truly spooky beverage.
Ingredients
1 (46 fl oz) can pineapple juice, chilled
1 (12 fl oz) can frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 (12 fl oz) can frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
2 liters lemon-lime soda, chilled
Green food coloring (optional, to achieve desired color)
Garnishes: gummy worms, plastic spiders, lychee 'eyeballs' (lychee fruit stuffed with a blueberry), dry ice (for effect, handle with care)
Instructions
Step 1: In a large punch bowl, combine the chilled pineapple juice, thawed orange juice concentrate, and thawed limeade concentrate. Stir well to ensure the concentrates are fully dissolved.
Step 2: Add a few drops of green food coloring to the juice mixture, stirring continuously until your desired 'swampy' green color is achieved. You can add more drops for a more intense hue.
Step 3: Just before serving, slowly pour in the chilled 2-liter lemon-lime soda. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to lose too much of the carbonation.
Step 4: Add your chosen spooky garnishes such as gummy worms, plastic spiders, or lychee eyeballs to float on top of the punch for a truly haunting appearance.
Step 5: For an extra eerie fog effect, carefully place a small, heat-safe bowl of dry ice within the larger punch bowl (ensuring guests cannot directly touch or consume it). Serve immediately and enjoy your frightfully delicious potion!
Notes
For safe dry ice usage, always use tongs and place it in a separate container within the punch bowl to avoid direct contact or consumption. This punch can be made alcoholic for adults by adding white rum or vodka.
