Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups red fruit juice (cranberry or pomegranate) use a juice that glows or appears blood-red
  • 1 cup sparkling water chilled, for bubbles and shimmer
  • 2 tablespoons cherry syrup optional for depth of color
  • to taste ice cubes to keep the punch chilled and frosty

Equipment

  • Measuring Cups
  • Large mixing pitcher

Method
 

  1. Pour the blood-red juice into a large mixing pitcher, filling it about three-quarters full.
  2. Add the cherry syrup to the juice, then gently stir to combine. This deepens the hue and adds a slightly richer blood-red tone.
  3. Float a handful of ice cubes into the mixture to keep it chilling and to create a cracked, frosty appearance that adds to the spooky vibe.
  4. Slowly pour the chilled sparkling water into the pitcher, allowing it to cascade and foam slightly, creating a bubbling, blood-like effect.
  5. Gently stir the mixture once more, being careful not to over-foam, so the bubbles are evenly distributed and the punch looks lively and chaotic.
  6. Pour the punch into glasses or cups, ensuring each serving gets a bit of the floating ice and the shimmering, crimson liquid inside.
  7. Finish with a spooky garnish, like floating candies, cherries, or even a plastic spider for extra creepy effect.

Notes

Use a glow-in-the-dark or fluorescent red juice for enhanced visual impact. Adjust sweetness with more or less cherry syrup to taste. Serve immediately for the best bubbles and glow.
