Halloween Monster Mash Punch

Instructions:

  1. In a large punch bowl, combine the thawed lemonade concentrate with cold water and stir until well mixed.
  2. Add the lemon-lime soda and gently stir again to keep the bubbles lively.
  3. Scoop rainbow sherbet into the punch, letting it float and create colorful, foamy swirls.
  4. Drop in candy eyeballs or peeled grapes for a creepy monster effect.
  5. Add ice cubes if needed to keep the punch chilled.
  6. Serve immediately in clear cups to show off the floating decorations.

Variations

  • Spiked version: Add vodka, rum, or a fruity liqueur for an adults-only punch.
  • Extra creepy: Freeze gummy worms inside ice cubes for a spooky surprise.
  • Green swampy punch: Swap rainbow sherbet for lime sherbet to create a bright green monster theme.
  • Berry twist: Use mixed berry soda instead of lemon-lime for a darker color and fruity flavor.

Tips

  • Add the sherbet just before serving so it stays foamy and colorful.
  • Use frozen grapes in place of ice cubes for “eyeballs” that keep the punch cold without diluting it.
  • Chill all ingredients ahead of time to avoid watering down the punch with too much ice.
  • Serve with Halloween straws or cups to make it even more festive.
  • For a dramatic touch, serve in a black cauldron and add a little dry ice for smoky, foggy effects (with safety precautions).
