Easy Orange Halloween Punch – A Festive Party Drink

This Easy Orange Halloween Punch recipe is a festive, fun drink perfect for Halloween parties. Made with orange soda, 7up, and orange sherbet, it’s a fizzy treat that both kids and adults will enjoy!

Ingredients

• 7up, Sprite, or Ginger Ale (1 liter): Adds a fizzy, refreshing base to the punch.
• Orange Pop (1 liter, Sunkist or Fanta): Provides the punch with its bright orange color and sweet flavor.
• Orange Sherbet (54 oz tub): Creates a creamy, frothy texture and enhances the orange flavor.

Instructions

Step 1:

Pour the 7up, Sprite, or ginger ale into a large punch bowl or serving container.

Step 2:

Carefully scoop balls of orange sherbet and place them on top of the soda. Watch as the punch gets fizzy and frothy from the sherbet.

Step 3:

Add a few pre-washed plastic spider rings on top for a festive Halloween touch. Ensure they’re visible for a spooky effect!

Step 4:

Serve the punch in cups and enjoy immediately for the best fizzy effect.

Serving and Storage Tips

• Serve immediately for the best fizzy effect as the sherbet begins to melt into the soda.
• Use clear cups to show off the vibrant orange color and spooky spider decorations.
• If you have leftovers, store the punch (without the sherbet) in the refrigerator for up to one day.

Helpful Notes

• Ensure the plastic spider rings are pre-washed for safety before adding them to the punch.
• Add the sherbet just before serving for a longer-lasting fizz and frothy effect.
• Adjust the type of soda based on your preference for sweetness and flavor.
