Ingredients:

For the Punch:

1 liter cranberry juice (or pomegranate juice for a darker, more intense look)
500 ml lime soda (for a bubbly, refreshing twist)
500 ml sparkling water (for added fizz)
1 cup pineapple juice (for a hint of tropical sweetness)
1/2 cup grenadine (for that perfect “blood” color and sweetness)
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (for a touch of tartness)

For Garnish:

Gummy eyeballs, gummy worms, or other Halloween-themed candies
Fresh lime slices or lemon slices
Red food coloring (optional, for an extra spooky look)
Ice cubes or freeze some of the juice in a skull or hand-shaped mold

Instructions

Preparation:

Step 1:
In a large punch bowl, combine the cranberry juice, lime soda, sparkling water, pineapple juice, grenadine, and fresh lime juice. Stir until all the ingredients are well mixed, creating a vibrant, deep-red “blood-like” punch.

Step 2:
To add an extra spooky touch, mix a few drops of red food coloring into the punch and stir. This step is optional but adds a more intense blood-like effect.

Step 3:
Prepare the spooky garnishes by placing gummy eyeballs, gummy worms, and other creepy candies on top of the punch. The candies will float and add a fun, eerie vibe.

Step 4:
Add ice cubes to keep the punch chilled, or use ice cubes made from cranberry juice for extra flavor as they melt. For an extra thrill, freeze some juice in a hand-shaped mold to create a “floating hand” in the punch.

Step 5:
Serve immediately with lime slices for added zing, or let it chill for an hour to let the flavors blend together.

Notes

For safety, if using dry ice, ensure it does not touch guests’ lips or hands directly. Use gloves when handling dry ice and let it sit in the punch until it has fully dissolved.
