If you want to make a splash at your Halloween party, nothing beats a bubbling bowl of Zombie Swamp Punch. This neon-green drink is sweet, tangy, and full of creepy touches like floating “eyeballs” and chunks of lime Jell-O “flesh.” It’s equal parts festive and frightful, making it the perfect centerpiece for your spooky spread.
The punch gets its bold green color from lime Kool-Aid, brightened with pineapple juice for tropical sweetness. Fizzy ginger ale and lemon-lime soda add sparkle and keep the drink light and refreshing. What sets this punch apart are the chilling details — cubes of lime Jell-O drifting like swampy slime and gummy eyeballs (or peeled grapes) that look eerily realistic in a cup.
It’s fun, interactive, and kid-friendly, though you can easily adapt it for an adults-only party with a splash of rum or vodka. Best of all, it’s simple to make in advance and looks impressive when served in a clear punch bowl or even a black cauldron. With a little dry ice for smoky fog, this drink becomes unforgettable.
