Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (64-ounce) bottle pineapple juice
- 1 (2-liter) bottle lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite or 7Up)
- 1 (12-ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
- 1 (12-ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 1 (1-liter) bottle ginger ale
- 1 quart lime sherbet
- Green food coloring (gel preferred)
- Gummy worms, gummy eyeballs, or plastic spiders for garnish
- Dry ice (optional but highly recommended)
- 1 to 2 cups vodka or light rum (optional, for boozy version)
Instructions
- Chill the pineapple juice, lemon-lime soda, ginger ale, and limeade concentrate overnight (at least 12 hours).
- In a large pitcher, combine the chilled pineapple juice, thawed limeade concentrate, and thawed lemonade concentrate. Stir well. Add 8 to 10 drops of green food coloring and stir again.
- Pour the juice mixture into a large punch bowl or beverage dispenser. If making a boozy version, stir in the vodka or rum now.
- Slowly pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda and ginger ale. Stir gently to combine without losing carbonation.
- Using an ice cream scoop, make 8 to 10 uniform scoops of lime sherbet and float them on top of the punch.
- Add gummy worms, gummy eyeballs, or plastic spiders. If using gummy ice cubes, add them now.
- If using dry ice, carefully add small chunks using gloves and tongs. Never use more than 1 pound for a standard punch bowl.
- Serve immediately, ladling into cups. Ensure each serving gets some frothy sherbet and at least one creepy garnish.
Notes
For best results, chill all ingredients overnight. The sherbet will fully melt after about 30 minutes, turning the punch creamy. To maintain the layered look, add fresh sherbet scoops every 20 minutes. Dry ice fog lasts 10-15 minutes per addition; add in batches throughout the party. Never ingest dry ice or let it touch bare skin.
