Follow the recipe below to create a magical punch that serves 4-6 people.
Ingredients (for 4-6 servings):
- 3 cups of pineapple juice
- 2 cups of cranberry juice
- 1 cup of orange juice
- 1 cup of lemon-lime soda
- 1/2 cup of grenadine
- 1 cup of sliced oranges
- 1 cup of sliced lemons
- 1/2 cup of fresh raspberries
- Dry ice (optional, for fog effect)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Base: In a large punch bowl, combine the pineapple juice, cranberry juice, and orange juice. Stir the mixture well to confirm all the juices are evenly mixed for a balanced flavor.
- Add the Soda: Slowly pour in the lemon-lime soda. This will add a slight fizz to the punch, enhancing its revitalizing quality. Be careful to pour it slowly to maintain the carbonation.
- Incorporate the Grenadine: Gently add the grenadine to the punch. This will give your Witch’s Brew Punch a beautiful, deep reddish hue that resembles a witch’s potion.
- Add Fresh Fruit: Toss in the sliced oranges, lemons, and fresh raspberries. These not only add to the flavor but also contribute to the visual appeal of the punch with their bright colors.

- Serve: Once everything is combined and the fog effect is in full swing, ladle the punch into glasses and serve immediately to enjoy the full effect of the bubbling brew.
Extra Tips:
When using dry ice, always handle it with care using tongs and gloves. Make sure that no pieces of dry ice are ingested; it’s only for creating the visual fog effect.
If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, this punch is naturally alcohol-free, but you can add a splash of rum or vodka if you wish to create an adult version. Additionally, you can freeze some of the juices into ice cubes to keep the punch cold without diluting it.

- Prepare the Lychee Eyeballs: Begin by draining the can of lychees and placing them on a plate. Insert a blueberry into the cavity of each lychee to create a spooky eyeball effect. Once done, set them aside in the refrigerator to chill.
- Mix the Juices: In a large punch bowl, combine the cranberry juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, and lime juice. Stir well to make sure all the juices are thoroughly mixed together.
- Add the Fizz: Just before serving, pour the ginger ale into the juice mixture. This will add a delightful fizz to your punch, making it more invigorating and bubbly.
- Incorporate the Eyeballs and Worms: Carefully add the prepared lychee eyeballs and gummy worms into the punch bowl. Be gentle to avoid splashing, and make sure that they’re evenly distributed for a spooky appearance.
- Serve Cold: Add ice cubes to the punch to keep it chilled. For an adult version, you can stir in vodka or rum at this stage.
- Present with a Frightful Flair: For added Halloween ambiance, serve the punch in clear glasses and garnish each serving with a gummy worm hanging off the edge.
Extra Tips:
For an extra eerie effect, freeze some of the cranberry juice into ice cube trays with gummy worms inside before adding them to the punch. This not only keeps your punch cold but also adds a spine-chilling surprise as the ice melts.
If you prefer a less sweet version, you can substitute the ginger ale with club soda. Adjust the amount of lime juice to suit your taste, and feel free to get creative with additional Halloween-themed garnishes like plastic spiders or glow sticks around the punch bowl for an added spooky touch.

To enhance the flavor, you can muddle the mint leaves gently before adding them to the pitcher. This will release more of their aromatic oils.

Prepare the blackberry syrup a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator to save time on the day of your event.
