Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups fruit juice (e.g., cranberry or pomegranate) chilled
  • 2 cups lemon-lime soda or sparkling water chilled
  • 1 cup berry syrup or grenadine adjust for sweetness
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • Optional edible eyes or black straws for garnish

Equipment

  • Large punch bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Stirring spoon

Method
 

  1. Pour the chilled fruit juice into a large punch bowl, creating a deep crimson base that resembles blood.
  2. Add freshly squeezed lemon juice to the juice mixture, enhancing the tangy flavor and brightening the color.
  3. Slowly pour the berry syrup or grenadine into the bowl, watching it swirl through the juice and creating a spooky, vortex-like effect with a vivid red hue.
  4. Gently stir all the ingredients together with a stirring spoon until well combined and the color is uniformly intense.
  5. Just before serving, carefully top the punch with chilled lemon-lime soda or sparkling water to add fizz and bubbles, which will start to rise and pop in the vibrant red liquid.
  6. Optionally, garnish the punch bowl with edible eyes or black-strapped straws for an extra spooky effect that captures the Halloween spirit.
  7. Serve immediately in glasses filled with ice or more sparkling soda for a chilling, bubbling effect that’s perfect for Halloween parties.
