Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 4 cups Cranberry Juice or pomegranate juice for a richer color
  • 2 cups Orange Juice freshly squeezed preferred
  • 2 cups Pineapple Juice or mango juice for a different twist
  • 1 cup Grenadine Syrup or a splash of pomegranate juice

Fizz Ingredients

  • 4 cups Lemon-lime Soda diet versions reduce sugar

Optional Spirits

  • 1 cup Vodka or Rum omit for a kid-friendly version

Garnish Ingredients

  • 1 cup Corn Syrup for blood rim effect
  • 1 tbsp Red Food Coloring for blood rim effect
  • Floating Ice Hands made by freezing water in gloves
  • Fruit Slices or Gummy Eyeballs

Instructions

  1. Mix Base Juices: In a large punch bowl, combine the cranberry juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, and grenadine syrup. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully blended into a harmonious base.
  2. Add Spirits: If preparing the adult version, gently incorporate vodka or rum into the juice mixture and stir slowly to combine without losing fizz later.
  3. Prepare Fizz: Right before serving, slowly pour in the lemon-lime soda to add refreshing bubbles. Stir gently to mix without flattening the soda.
  4. Make Blood Rim: Rim each glass by applying a mixture of corn syrup and red food coloring, creating a blood effect to enhance the spooky vibe.
  5. Create Ice Hands: Fill disposable gloves with water and freeze them overnight to form floating ice hands that float eerily in the punch bowl.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Add floating ice hands to the punch, garnish with orange slices or gummy eyeballs, and serve immediately for a chilling Halloween experience.

Notes

  • To make the punch kid-friendly, simply omit the vodka or rum.
  • For a richer color, use pomegranate juice instead of cranberry juice and grenadine.
  • Diet lemon-lime soda can be used to reduce sugar content.
  • Ensure ice hands are completely frozen before use to avoid water dilution.
  • Use disposable gloves that are food safe to freeze the ice hands safely.
