Description
A vibrant, fizzy, and fun purple punch perfect for Halloween parties. This easy, crowd-pleasing drink combines grape, cranberry, and berry juices with lemon-lime soda for a sweet-tart, refreshing treat that both kids and adults love.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (480 ml) grape juice (100% juice for best color and flavor)
- 1 cup (240 ml) cranberry juice
- 1 cup (240 ml) berry punch or blueberry juice
- 2 liters (67.6 fl oz) lemon-lime soda (chilled; Sprite or 7-Up)
- 1–2 cups (240–480 ml) club soda (optional, for extra fizz)
- Gummy worms (for garnish)
- Plastic eyeballs (for decoration, not edible)
- Fresh blueberries or blackberries (for garnish)
- Dry ice (optional; use with caution and adult supervision for smoky effect)
Instructions
- Chill all ingredients ahead of time for at least 2-3 hours.
- Pour grape juice, cranberry juice, and berry punch or blueberry juice into a large punch bowl. Stir gently to combine.
- Slowly add chilled lemon-lime soda, pouring against the side of the bowl to preserve fizz. Stir gently.
- Add club soda for extra bubbles if desired. Stir just once, very gently.
- Taste and adjust: add lime juice for tartness or more berry punch/lemon-lime soda for sweetness.
- Add ice cubes if serving immediately (skip if using dry ice).
- For smoky effect, carefully add a small chunk of dry ice just before serving. Never let anyone touch or ingest dry ice.
- Garnish with gummy worms, fresh berries, and plastic eyeballs.
- Ladle into glasses and serve immediately while cold and fizzy. Add a gummy worm or berry to each glass for extra flair.
Notes
Keep all ingredients cold for maximum fizz. Add soda last and stir gently to preserve bubbles. For a deeper purple, add a drop of blue food coloring. Customize garnishes for a spooky effect. For adult parties, add vodka or gin if desired. Store leftovers in the fridge and enjoy within 24 hours.
