Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 quarts orange sherbet
  • 4 cups pineapple juice chilled
  • 2 liters lemon-lime soda chilled
  • Green or orange food coloring (optional) a few drops
  • 1 cup gummy worms or candy eyeballs for garnish
  • 1 ice ring or 2 cups ice cubes

Method
 

  1. Chill all ingredients: Keep the sherbet, juice, and soda refrigerated or frozen until right before the party so the punch stays cold without melting ice too quickly.
  2. Add sherbet to bowl: Scoop large portions of orange sherbet into a large punch bowl. Let it sit for about a minute until the edges turn soft and glossy.
  3. Pour in pineapple juice: Slowly pour the chilled pineapple juice over the sherbet. Stir gently just enough to break the sherbet into soft chunks, not a smooth liquid.
  4. Add food coloring: If using, stir in a few drops of green or orange food coloring until the punch reaches a spooky, vibrant shade.
  5. Pour soda last: Right before serving, pour the lemon-lime soda slowly down the side of the bowl to keep the fizz. Stir only once, very gently.
  6. Add ice and garnish: Drop in the ice ring or ice cubes to keep the punch cold. Float gummy worms or candy eyeballs on top for a playful Halloween look.
  7. Serve immediately: Ladle the punch into cups while the sherbet is still swirling through the liquid, within about 5 minutes of adding the soda for the best texture and fizz.
