Print Recipe

This vibrant, citrusy green punch is the perfect Halloween party drink. It’s quick to make with simple ingredients and has a magical, creamy texture from melting lime sherbet.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups pineapple juice
  • 4 cups lemonade
  • 1 quart lime sherbet
  • 4 cups lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite or 7UP)
  • 5–10 drops green food coloring (optional)
  • Ice (large block or ice ring preferred)
  • For garnish: gummy worms, dry ice (use with caution), plastic spider rings (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare an ice ring the night before or at least 4-6 hours ahead: arrange gummy worms, mint leaves, or berries in a bundt pan, fill halfway with water or lemon-lime soda, freeze, then add more liquid and freeze again.
  2. Chill all liquid ingredients (pineapple juice, lemonade, lemon-lime soda) for at least a couple of hours.
  3. In a large punch bowl, combine the chilled pineapple juice and chilled lemonade. Stir gently.
  4. Slowly pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda to preserve carbonation. Stir gently.
  5. If desired, add green food coloring 5 drops at a time, stirring until you reach the desired ‘witches’ brew’ shade.
  6. Just before serving, carefully add the entire quart of lime sherbet to the center of the punch bowl. Do not stir it in completely; let it float and melt slowly.
  7. Gently place the prepared ice ring or a large block of ice into the punch bowl.
  8. Add optional garnishes (plastic spider rings, gummy worms) and serve immediately, ladling into cups.

Notes

For best results, chill all ingredients beforehand. Use a large ice ring instead of cubes to prevent dilution. Do not over-stir the sherbet; let it create a creamy swirl. For a boozy version, add 1-1.5 cups of vodka, white rum, or citrus gin. For a less sweet punch, use sugar-free lemonade and club soda. Leftover juice base can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days; add fresh soda and sherbet when serving again.
