An easy and fun Halloween punch recipe with a spooky green color, fizzy citrus flavor, and a dramatic dry ice fog effect. Perfect for parties and guaranteed to impress guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (64 oz) bottle of green Hawaiian Punch
  • 2 liters of lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7UP), chilled
  • 1 (46 oz) can of unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 45 limes)
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 pint lime sherbet
  • 12 blocks of dry ice
  • Gummy worms or spiders (for garnish, optional)
  • Black food coloring (optional)
  • 1 cup coconut rum (optional, for adult version)
  • 1/2 cup vodka (optional, for adult version)

Instructions

  1. Chill the Hawaiian Punch, lemon-lime soda, and pineapple juice overnight.
  2. Prepare garnishes: slice citrus into thin rounds and arrange gummy worms or spiders near the punch bowl.
  3. Juice the limes and lemons to get 1/2 cup of each; strain out seeds but leave some pulp.
  4. In a large punch bowl, combine the green Hawaiian Punch, pineapple juice, and fresh lime and lemon juices. Stir gently.
  5. Just before serving, slowly pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda and stir gently to preserve carbonation.
  6. Scoop the lime sherbet into the punch bowl and let it float on top without stirring.
  7. Using tongs, carefully place a small piece of dry ice (about the size of a golf ball) into the punch bowl. Never handle dry ice with bare hands.
  8. Garnish with gummy worms crawling over the edge, spiders in the froth, and citrus slices around the rim. Serve immediately in clear cups.

Notes

Dry ice is extremely cold (-109°F) and can cause burns. Never handle with bare hands; use tongs or thick gloves. Never seal dry ice in an airtight container. Do not let anyone put dry ice in their mouth or drink it. The fog effect lasts about 15-20 minutes, so add dry ice right before serving. For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum and vodka. For a dairy-free version, replace lime sherbet with dairy-free sorbet.
