Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (64-ounce) bottle of pineapple juice
- 1 (64-ounce) bottle of white grape juice
- 1 (12-ounce) can of frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 1 (12-ounce) can of frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
- 2 liters of lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7-Up)
- 1 (64-ounce) container of lime sherbet
- Green food coloring (gel or liquid)
- 1 cup of gummy worms or gummy eyeballs (optional)
- Dry ice (optional, for the fog effect)
Instructions
- Thaw the frozen lemonade and limeade concentrates in the fridge overnight or on the counter for about an hour.
- In a large pitcher, combine the pineapple juice, white grape juice, and thawed concentrates. Stir well. This base can be made up to two days in advance and stored in the fridge.
- Chill the juice base and lemon-lime soda in the fridge for at least two hours before serving.
- When ready to serve, pour the juice base into a large punch bowl. Add green food coloring a few drops at a time, stirring until you reach a swampy green color.
- Slowly pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda and stir gently to combine.
- Drop scoops of lime sherbet into the punch. It will float and create a creamy, frothy layer.
- Scatter gummy worms or eyeballs over the top. For firmer gummies, freeze them for an hour beforehand.
- Using tongs or gloves, carefully place a small chunk of dry ice (about the size of a golf ball) into the punch bowl. It will create fog that spills over the sides. Add more chunks as needed to maintain the fog effect.
- Ladle the punch into cups, avoiding the dry ice chunks. Warn everyone not to touch or consume the dry ice.
Notes
Dry ice is optional but creates a dramatic fog effect. Handle dry ice with tongs or gloves; never let children touch it. The juice base can be made up to two days ahead. For a dairy-free version, use lime or lemon sorbet instead of sherbet. For a non-carbonated version, replace soda with ginger ale or water.
