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

- 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
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.
