A quick and easy Halloween punch made with ginger ale, lime sherbet, and spooky garnishes like lychee eyeballs and gummy worms. Ready in 5 minutes, it’s perfect for parties and guaranteed to be a hit.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 liter ginger ale (or lemon-lime soda like Sprite or 7UP)
  • 1 quart lime sherbet
  • 2 cups pineapple juice
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice (about 2–3 lemons)
  • 1 can lychee fruit in syrup (about 20 ounces), drained
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 bag frozen gummy worms
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries or blackberries
  • Ice cubes shaped like bats or spiders (optional)
  • 1 cup vodka or white rum (optional, for adults)
  • 1/2 cup blue curaçao (optional, for adults)

Instructions

  1. Make the eyeballs: Drain the lychee fruit and rinse gently. Using a small paring knife, make a small slit in the side of each lychee and push a blueberry inside to create the pupil. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the ice cubes (if using shaped molds, do this ahead of time): Fill silicone molds with water and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  3. Mix the juice base: In a punch bowl, combine pineapple juice, orange juice, and lemon juice. Stir gently.
  4. Add the carbonation: Slowly pour in the ginger ale down the side of the bowl to preserve fizz. Stir gently once or twice.
  5. Add the sherbet: Scoop the entire quart of lime sherbet into the punch. Do not stir; let it float on top to create a frothy layer as it melts.
  6. Add the spooky garnishes: Gently drop in the lychee eyeballs, frozen raspberries, gummy worms, and shaped ice cubes (if using).
  7. Let it rest for 2 minutes before serving to allow the sherbet to start melting and create a foggy effect.
  8. Serve: Ladle into cups, making sure each serving gets at least one eyeball and a gummy worm. If adding alcohol, stir it in right before serving.

Notes

For best results, keep sherbet frozen until the last minute. Refrigerate all juices and ginger ale overnight for a colder punch that keeps the sherbet from melting too quickly. To make eyeballs extra creepy, soak lychee in red food coloring for 30 seconds before stuffing. If making a double batch, prepare two separate bowls rather than doubling in one. For a dairy-free version, use lime sorbet instead of sherbet. For a smoky effect, add food-grade dry ice to the bowl (handle with tongs, never put in individual cups).
