Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups berries (blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries) for color and flavor
  • 1 cup grape juice for deep purple color
  • 2 cups orange juice for tartness and brightness
  • 1 cup lemon juice adds citrus tang
  • 2 cups lemon-lime soda for fizz and bubbles
  • 1/4 cup edible glitter optional, for shimmer

Equipment

  • Large pitcher or punch bowl
  • Stirring spoon

Method
 

  1. Pour the berry and grape juices into a large pitcher, watching as the dark red and purple liquids swirl together, creating a spooky base color.
  2. Add the orange and lemon juice to the mixture, stirring gently to blend bright citrus flavors evenly into the dark fruit base.
  3. Place the pitcher in the refrigerator and chill for about 10 minutes to ensure the juice is cold and refreshing.
  4. Just before serving, pour in the lemon-lime soda, slowly stirring to introduce gentle bubbles that will float and create a bubbling, creepy effect.
  5. Gently sprinkle edible glitter over the punch, watching as the shimmer catches the light and adds a spooky sparkle to the bubbling drink.
  6. Serve the punch immediately in glasses filled with ice, garnished with floating berries or fruit pieces for added ghoulish effect and texture.

Notes

For extra spooky flair, add gummy worms or floating eyeball candies. Adjust sweetness with more fruit juice or citrus as preferred.
