Witch's Brew Punch

A batch cocktail for the whole party. Vodka, pineapple juice, sour apple schnapps, and lemon-lime soda mixed in a punch bowl with scoops of lime sherbet that foam up like a bubbling cauldron. Add plastic spiders or gummy worms for the full Halloween effect.

Serves10-12

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle (750ml) vodka
  • 1 liter lemon-lime soda (Sprite or 7Up)
  • 3 cups pineapple juice
  • 1 cup sour apple schnapps
  • 1 pint lime sherbet
  • Green food coloring (optional, for deeper green)
  • Plastic spiders or gummy worms (for garnish)
  • Dry ice (optional, for smoking effect — use in a separate container, never in the punch)
  • Lime slices and orange slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1. In a large punch bowl, combine vodka, pineapple juice, and sour apple schnapps. Stir well.
  2. 2. Add a few drops of green food coloring if you want a more vivid green color.
  3. 3. Just before serving, add the lemon-lime soda and stir gently.
  4. 4. Add scoops of lime sherbet on top — it will foam and bubble up like a witch's cauldron on contact with the soda.
  5. 5. Float lime and orange slices on top. Add plastic spiders on the rim or gummy worms crawling out of the punch.
  6. 6. For smoking effect: place dry ice in a separate container beneath or beside the punch bowl (never in the punch itself).
  7. 7. Ladle into cups and serve. Make the base mix ahead and keep refrigerated — just add the soda and sherbet right before guests arrive for maximum foam and fizz.
