Print Recipe

This Perfect Witch’s Brew Halloween Punch for a Crowd is a nostalgic, crowd-pleasing drink that combines pineapple juice, lemon-lime soda, orange soda, and a secret weapon—orange and raspberry sherbet—for a creamy, fizzy, and spooky treat that comes together in under 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (64-ounce) bottle of pineapple juice
  • 1 (2-liter) bottle of lemon-lime soda (e.g., Sprite or 7UP)
  • 1 (2-liter) bottle of orange soda (e.g., Fanta or Sunkist)
  • 1 (1.5-quart) container of orange sherbet
  • 1 (1.5-quart) container of raspberry sherbet
  • 1 (12-ounce) can of frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
  • Ice cubes (optional: freeze gummy worms or plastic spiders inside)
  • Optional: Green or purple food coloring
  • For the spiked version (adults only): 1 cup of vodka or 1 cup of coconut rum

Instructions

  1. Chill your ingredients beforehand: Put the pineapple juice, both sodas, and the lemonade concentrate in the fridge at least 4 hours before serving. Keep the sherbet in the freezer until ready.
  2. Set up your serving station: Place your punch bowl or drink dispenser on a sturdy table. If using dry ice, ensure the bowl is heat-safe and the room is well-ventilated.
  3. Pour the pineapple juice: Open the bottle and pour all 64 ounces into the punch bowl.
  4. Add the thawed lemonade concentrate: Pour the entire can into the pineapple juice and stir with a wooden spoon until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour in the sodas: Slowly pour the lemon-lime soda and orange soda into the bowl to preserve carbonation. Stir gently.
  6. Add the sherbet: Using a large spoon, scoop big dollops of orange and raspberry sherbet into the punch, alternating scoops. Use about three-quarters of each container, saving the rest for topping off later.
  7. Add ice cubes: Toss in a generous amount of ice cubes. If using gummy worm ice cubes, add them now.
  8. Stir gently one more time: Just a few slow stirs to combine everything, leaving visible sherbet swirls.
  9. Taste and adjust: Dip a clean spoon in and taste. Adjust sweetness or tartness with more lemonade concentrate or orange soda as needed.
  10. Add finishing touches: If using food coloring, add 3-4 drops of neon green and stir. For the spiked version, pour in vodka or coconut rum and stir gently. If using dry ice, use tongs to carefully add a small chunk (about the size of an egg) to the punch. Never let anyone drink the dry ice—wait until it’s fully sublimated (about 15-20 minutes).
  11. Serve immediately: Ladle the punch into cups. Top off the bowl with remaining sherbet as needed.

Notes

Chill all ingredients thoroughly before mixing to avoid watery punch. Don’t overstir—gentle stirring preserves carbonation and sherbet swirls. For a dairy-free version, use sorbet instead of sherbet. For a lower-sugar version, use diet sodas and sugar-free sherbet. If using dry ice, never handle with bare hands and ensure it fully sublimates before serving. The punch is best served immediately but leftover punch (without ice) can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
