Stirring Spoon: For mixing the punch.
Measuring Cups: To get the right amounts of each ingredient.

Ice Mold: To create large chunks of ice or a spooky ice hand.
Serving Glasses: Choose clear glasses to showcase the punch’s color.

Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make this delicious punch:

3 cups cranberry juice
2 cups pineapple juice
1 cup orange juice
1 liter lemon-lime soda like Sprite or 7-Up

1 cup grenadine syrup: For that rich blood-red color.
1 cup vodka optional: For an adult version.
Ice: Enough to keep the punch chilled.

Fruit Slices: Orange and lemon slices for garnish.

Make sure to buy fresh juices for the best flavor. If you’re making this for kids, you can skip the vodka. You can also add more or less grenadine to adjust the color.

Follow these steps to make the punch:

Mix Juices: Pour the cranberry, pineapple, and orange juices into the punch bowl.
Add Grenadine: Slowly add the grenadine to get that blood-red color.

Stir Well: Use your stirring spoon to mix everything thoroughly.
Add Ice: Put in your spooky ice mold or large ice chunks to keep it cold without watering it down too quickly.
Finish with Soda: Just before serving, add the lemon-lime soda for a fizzy touch.

Optional Vodka: If it’s an adults-only party, mix in the vodka.
Garnish: Place orange and lemon slices on top for a fun look.
Serve immediately while it’s still bubbly. Let your guests know if it has vodka so they can decide to partake responsibly.

Notes

A few extra tips to make your punch even better:

Non-Alcoholic Option: Skip the vodka to make it kid-friendly.
Extra Spooky: Freeze plastic fangs or gummy worms in ice cubes for a fun surprise.
Adjust Sweetness: If it’s too sweet, add a bit more soda or some sparkling water.
Prepare in Advance: You can mix everything but the soda ahead of time. Just add the soda when ready to serve.
