Witch's Brew Punch (Print version)
A fizzy green Halloween punch made with lime sherbet, pineapple juice, limeade, and lemon-lime soda.
# Ingredients:
For the punch
01 -
1 1/2 quarts (1.4 L) lime sherbet
02 -
2 cups (480 ml) pineapple juice, chilled
03 -
1/2 cup (120 ml) frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
04 -
1 bottle (2 liters) lemon-lime soda or ginger ale, chilled
05 -
2-3 drops green food coloring, optional
For serving
06 -
1 cup gummy worms or gummy eyeballs, optional
07 -
1 lb (450 g) dry ice, optional, for fog display only and not for drinking
# Instructions:
01 -
Chill the soda, pineapple juice, limeade, and punch bowl before mixing. Cold ingredients keep the fizz stronger and slow down the melting sherbet.
02 -
Scoop the lime sherbet into a large punch bowl or food-safe cauldron. Keep the scoops loose and chunky so they foam as the liquid goes in.
03 -
Add the chilled pineapple juice and thawed limeade concentrate. Stir gently just until the sherbet starts to soften.
04 -
Slowly pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda or ginger ale. Stir once or twice with a ladle, leaving plenty of foam on top.
05 -
Add 2-3 drops of green food coloring if you want a brighter green punch. Stir gently so the bubbles stay active.
06 -
Add gummy worms or gummy eyeballs around the bowl and serve immediately. If using dry ice, keep it separate from cups and handle it with tongs and insulated gloves.
# Good to know:
01 -
Best served immediately after adding the soda.
02 -
For a safer fog effect, place dry ice in a separate bowl of warm water inside a larger cauldron, not directly in serving cups.
03 -
Chill all liquids before mixing for the brightest flavor and best foam.
