Scale
Serves 8-10
- For the punch:
- 4 cups (960 ml) pineapple juice, chilled
- 4 cups (960 ml) orange juice, chilled
- 1 liter (33.8 oz) lemon-lime soda, chilled
- 2 cups (480 ml) purple grape juice or cranberry juice, chilled
- For the spooky effect:
- Dry ice (optional, for a fog effect; handle with care)
- Green or purple food coloring (optional, to enhance color)
- For garnish:
- Plastic spiders or eyeballs (for decoration only, not edible)
- Orange slices
- Blackberries
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare the punch:
- In a large punch bowl, combine pineapple juice, orange juice, and lemon-lime soda. Stir gently to mix.
- Add purple grape juice or cranberry juice. Adjust the color with food coloring if desired.
- Create the spooky effect:
- For a foggy punch, place a few pieces of dry ice in the punch bowl (ensure no one consumes the dry ice directly). The dry ice will create a misty, magical effect.
- Add garnishes:
- Float orange slices, blackberries, or edible eyeballs in the punch. Add ice cubes to keep the drink chilled.
- Serve:
- Ladle the punch into glasses. Decorate each glass with a spooky plastic spider or garnish with extra fruit.
Notes
- Dry Ice Safety: Dry ice must not be ingested. Use tongs to handle and wait until it completely dissipates before serving directly from the bowl.
- For an adult version, add 1 cup (240 ml) of vodka, rum, or orange liqueur.
- For a sugar-rimmed effect, dip the rims of the glasses in lemon juice, then in black or green sanding sugar.
