Ingredients
Scale
- 64 oz (1.9 L) cranberry juice, chilled
- 2 liters lemon-lime soda, chilled
- 64 oz (1.9 L) pineapple juice, chilled
- 3 cups (710 ml) orange juice, preferably fresh-squeezed
- 2–3 drops green food coloring
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar (adjust according to taste)
- 1 package (12 oz/340 g) frozen blueberries
- 24 canned lychees, drained
- 24 maraschino cherries
- 2 cups (300 g) gummy worms or spider
- 2–3 lbs dry ice (optional, for fog effect)
- Black plastic spiders (for decoration, non-edible)
Instructions
- Prepare the eyeball garnish by draining the lychees and patting them dry. Insert a blueberry into each lychee cavity. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours.
- In a large punch bowl, combine cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and orange juice. Stir in sugar until completely dissolved, adjusting amount to taste.
- Add 2-3 drops of green food coloring and stir thoroughly to create an eerie color effect.
- Just before serving, gently pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda. Add the frozen eyeballs and scatter gummy worms or spiders around the edges.
- If using dry ice, carefully add small pieces following safety procedures for the dramatic fog effect. Never touch dry ice with bare hands or allow guests to consume it.
- Ladle the punch into cups, ensuring each serving gets at least one floating eyeball.
- Keep remaining punch chilled and replenish dry ice as needed throughout your event to maintain the misty effect.
