A creamy, fizzy, and festive Halloween punch made with orange sherbet and ginger ale. This easy, non-alcoholic drink is perfect for parties and family gatherings, offering a deliciously simple treat that feels like a celebration in a cup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 quart (about 4 cups) orange sherbet
  • 2 liters ginger ale
  • 1 cup orange juice (optional)
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 cup pineapple juice (optional)
  • Ice cubes
  • Gummy worms or spiders (for garnish)
  • Orange slices and fresh mint (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Chill your ingredients (30 minutes before serving): Place the ginger ale and juices in the refrigerator. Keep the sherbet in the freezer until ready to use.
  2. Prepare the garnishes (10 minutes before serving): Slice one orange into thin rounds and cut each round in half. Wash and dry a few sprigs of fresh mint. Set aside.
  3. Add the juices to the punch bowl: Pour in the orange juice (if using), lemon juice, and pineapple juice (if using). Stir gently to combine.
  4. Add the ginger ale: Slowly pour the ginger ale into the bowl, pouring it down the side to preserve carbonation.
  5. Add the sherbet: Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, add 6-8 generous scoops of sherbet to the punch. Let it float on top.
  6. Add ice: Gently add a few handfuls of ice cubes, just enough to barely cover the surface.
  7. Garnish: Arrange orange slices and mint sprigs on top of the sherbet. Add gummy worms or spiders for a spooky touch.
  8. Serve immediately: Ladle the punch into cups, ensuring each serving gets a little sherbet and a garnish. Best enjoyed within 30 minutes.

Notes

For best results, chill all ingredients beforehand. Use a block of ice instead of cubes to prevent dilution. Add sherbet just before serving to maintain fizz. For a dairy-free version, substitute sherbet with coconut or mango sorbet. For a lower-sugar option, use diet ginger ale and sugar-free sherbet.
