With its vibrant green color and misty effect from the dry ice, it’s sure to be the hit of the party.
Not only is it fun to make, but it also allows kids to join in on the Halloween spirit without the need for caffeine or artificial ingredients. This Witch’s Brew Punch is perfect for entertaining a group of 4-6 kids, making it ideal for a small Halloween gathering or a cozy family get-together.
The ingredients are simple, but the effect is dramatic, especially when served in a punch bowl with a ladle for easy serving. Get ready to surprise and delight the little witches and wizards at your party with this spellbinding beverage!
Ingredients (serving size: 4-6 people):
- 4 cups lemon-lime soda
- 2 cups pineapple juice
- 2 cups green sports drink (such as Gatorade or Powerade)
- 1 cup lime sherbet
- 1-2 pounds of dry ice (optional, for effect)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Punch Base: In a large punch bowl, combine the lemon-lime soda, pineapple juice, and green sports drink. Stir gently to mix the ingredients thoroughly. This combination will give your punch a delightful fruity and invigorating taste.
2. Add the Magic Ingredient: Carefully add the lime sherbet to the punch. This will give your Witch’s Brew a creamy texture and enhance the overall flavor. Stir gently until the sherbet is mostly dissolved, leaving a few chunks for added texture.
3. Create the Misty Effect (optional): If you want to add a spooky misty effect, carefully handle the dry ice with tongs or gloves, and place a few small pieces into the punch bowl. The dry ice will create a foggy effect as it sublimates, adding a magical touch to your drink.
Be sure to avoid touching the dry ice directly with your hands and don’t consume the dry ice.
4. Serve with Style: Once your Witch’s Brew Punch is ready, serve it immediately. Use a ladle to pour the punch into clear cups so the kids can see the vibrant green color and the bubbling effect from the dry ice.
Extra Tips: When using dry ice, make sure to inform the children not to touch or ingest it. It’s important to handle dry ice carefully, using gloves or tongs, and to confirm it has fully sublimated before serving the punch.
If dry ice isn’t available, the punch will still be delicious and festive without it. For an additional spooky touch, consider adding fun garnishes like gummy worms or plastic spiders on the rim of the cups. Enjoy this delightful and safe Halloween drink with your little ones!

Ingredients for 4-6 servings:
- 2 cups of fresh blackberries
- 4 cups of lemon-lime soda
- 1 cup of grape juice
- 1/4 cup of lime juice
- 2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup (optional)
- Ice cubes
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Blackberries: Start by thoroughly washing the blackberries under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Create the Blackberry Mixture: In a blender, combine the blackberries, grape juice, lime juice, and honey (if using). Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and the blackberries are fully pureed.
- Strain the Mixture: Pour the blackberry mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large pitcher, using a spoon to press down and extract as much juice as possible. Discard the seeds and pulp left behind in the strainer.
- Combine with Soda: Add the lemon-lime soda to the pitcher containing the strained blackberry mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
- Chill and Serve: Place ice cubes into glasses and pour the Black Cat Cooler over the ice. Garnish each glass with a mint leaf if desired.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the Black Cat Cooler right away to enjoy its invigorating taste while the soda is still fizzy.
Extra Tips:
For an added creepy effect, consider adding gummy worms or spooky ice cubes made from cranberry juice to your Black Cat Cooler.
If you want a less sweet version, reduce the amount of honey or skip it altogether. You can also substitute frozen blackberries if fresh ones aren’t available, just be sure to thaw them before blending.
This drink is best served immediately after preparation to maintain the fizz from the soda, so plan to make it right before your guests arrive.

Ingredients (serving size: 4-6 people):
- 2 cups cranberry juice
- 2 cups orange juice
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda
- 1/2 cup grenadine syrup
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- Ice cubes
- Gummy worms or candy eyeballs for garnish
- Orange slices or lime wedges for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Base: In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the cranberry juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, and fresh lime juice. Stir well to verify the juices are thoroughly mixed.
- Add the Fizz: Slowly pour in the lemon-lime soda. This will add a delightful fizz to your punch, making it bubbly and more exciting for kids. Stir gently to integrate the soda without losing too much carbonation.
- Sweeten with Grenadine: Add the grenadine syrup to the mixture. This won’t only sweeten the punch but also give it a deep, spooky red color. Stir until the grenadine is completely mixed in.
- Chill the Punch: Add a generous amount of ice cubes to the punch to keep it cold. Alternatively, you can chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving.
- Garnish for Spookiness: Just before serving, add gummy worms or candy eyeballs to the punch for a creepy touch. You can also garnish each glass with an orange slice or lime wedge for extra color and flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the Phantom Fruit Punch into clear glasses so the vibrant color and spooky garnishes are visible. Serve immediately to enjoy it at its fizziest and most invigorating state.
Extra Tips:
To make your Phantom Fruit Punch even more festive, consider using themed ice cube trays to create spooky-shaped ice cubes, such as skulls or bats. For added flair, rim the glasses with colored sugar by first dipping them in lime juice and then into a plate of colored sugar.
If you want to reduce sugar, opt for a sugar-free lemon-lime soda and use less grenadine. Remember, presentation is key, so let your creativity flow to make this drink as fun and spooky as possible!
