Halloween Zombie Swamp Punch

Instructions:

  1. In a large punch bowl, prepare the lime Kool-Aid with 6 cups of cold water.
  2. Stir in pineapple juice, ginger ale, and lemon-lime soda until combined.
  3. Add ice cubes to chill the punch.
  4. Carefully stir in the cubed lime Jell-O so it floats like swampy “flesh.”
  5. Drop gummy eyeballs or peeled grapes into the punch for a spooky touch.
  6. Serve in clear cups so the neon color and floating decorations shine through.

Variations

  • Boozy version: Add vodka, rum, or Midori melon liqueur for an adult-friendly punch.
  • Extra slime: Mix in gummy worms or use green sherbet for added texture.
  • Bloody effect: Drizzle grenadine into cups before pouring in the punch for “blood streaks.”
  • Monster mix: Add floating plastic spiders, eyeballs, or other Halloween-safe props for fun.

Tips

  • Prepare the Jell-O a few hours in advance so it has time to set before cubing.
  • Add sodas just before serving to keep the punch fizzy.
  • Freeze grapes instead of peeling them for edible, ice-cold “eyeballs.”
  • For dramatic effect, serve in a black cauldron and carefully add a small amount of dry ice for fog.
  • Always remind guests not to drink or swallow dry ice directly — it’s for visual effect only.
