Halloween Punch

Instructions:

  1. In a large punch bowl or pitcher, combine the lemon-lime soda, orange juice, and pineapple juice. Stir gently to mix.
  2. Add scoops of orange sherbet directly into the bowl. The sherbet will begin to melt slightly, creating a frothy and spooky swirl.
  3. Ladle or pour the punch into glasses or cups.
  4. Top each glass with a swirl of whipped cream for a sweet, cloud-like finish.
  5. Garnish with Halloween-themed marshmallow candies or decorative sprinkles if desired.

Variations

  • Boozy version: Add 1 to 2 cups of light rum or vodka for an adult-only party punch.
  • Blood orange twist: Replace regular orange juice with blood orange juice for a deeper color and richer flavor.
  • Frozen fruit add-ins: Toss in frozen grapes or berries for a “floating eyeball” effect.
  • Green punch: Swap orange sherbet for lime sherbet and use green soda for a monster-themed punch.

Tips

  • Always use chilled ingredients to keep the punch cold without needing ice, which can dilute the flavor.
  • Add the sherbet just before serving so it creates the best visual effect.
  • If making ahead, mix the juices in advance and refrigerate, then add soda and sherbet at the last minute.
  • Use themed cups, straws, or dry ice (with caution) to enhance the Halloween mood.
  • Leftovers can be frozen into popsicle molds for a next-day treat.
