Witch’s Brew Punch Mocktail Recipe: With A Twist
I really enjoy making this Witch’s Brew Punch Mocktail with its wild, bright color and fizz.
With just some basic bar tools and the right mix of fruit juices and sodas, it’s easy to create a drink everyone can enjoy at a Halloween party.
Equipment
- Large Punch Bowl: I use a punch bowl to hold the whole mix.
- Long Spoon: For mixing everything together.
- Ladle: Makes serving way less messy.
- Measuring Cups and Spoons: I like to measure out juices and syrup so nothing overpowers.
- Serving Glasses or Cups: Clear cups are best so the color pops.
- Ice Cube Tray or Halloween-Themed Molds: Shapes like skulls or pumpkins are just fun.
- Optional – Strainer: If I add fruit slices or want to avoid pulp, I’ll use a strainer.
Ingredients
- 2 cups apple juice
- 2 cups pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
- 2 cups grape soda or Frostie Concord grape soda
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7UP)
- 2 cups ginger ale or sparkling water
- 1-2 drops green food coloring (for bright color)
- 2 cups Hawaiian Punch Green Berry Rush (for an extra twist)
- Ice cubes or Halloween-shaped ice
- Optional Garnishes: Gummy worms, orange slices, or floating peeled grapes
Instructions
- Chill all juices, soda, and punch ingredients ahead of time.
- In my large punch bowl, I pour in the apple juice, pineapple juice, and lemon juice.
- Stir in the Hawaiian Punch Green Berry Rush and a drop or two of green food coloring until it’s as bright as you want.
- Gently mix in the grape soda and lemon-lime soda to keep things fizzy.
- Add ginger ale or sparkling water for extra bubbles.
- Drop in plenty of ice (bonus points for Halloween shapes).
- Garnish with gummy worms, orange slices, or some floating peeled grapes for that spooky vibe.
- Serve right away while it’s still cold and bubbly.
Notes
You can totally adjust this recipe to fit your mood or whatever you’ve got in the fridge. If you want it less sweet, swap in club soda or more sparkling water instead of the lemon-lime soda or ginger ale.
For a deeper green, add a bit more food coloring—but go slow, one drop at a time.
If you’re missing a juice, just use more pineapple or apple juice. Grape soda gives it a unique spin, but you can skip it for a lighter flavor.
I think adding fun decorations like gummy worms or weird ice shapes makes it extra special for Halloween.
It’s easy to double if you’re expecting a bigger crowd. Want it more fruity? Add extra Hawaiian Punch Green Berry Rush or a splash more lemon juice for tartness.
Leftovers can chill in the fridge, though honestly, it’s best fresh and fizzy.

Tasting Notes
First sip, and wow—it’s super refreshing. The mix of tangy fruit juices and fizzy soda makes it bright and lively.
It’s sweet, but not in that cloying way. There’s a nice tartness too, which keeps things interesting.
The citrus really shines, and then you get those subtle berry notes. Kind of keeps your taste buds on their toes.
The color is wild—deep green or purple, depending on which juice you lean into. It just screams Halloween.
I’ve noticed this spooky punch is a hit with kids and adults who want something festive without the booze.
Toss in gummy eyeballs or floating fruit, and it gets even more magical. Each sip is light and bubbly—honestly, just right for a party.

Substitute
Sometimes I run out of an ingredient, or honestly, I just want to shake things up with my mocktail recipes.
Here are a few ways I swap things out for the Witch’s Brew Punch Mocktail.
Equipment
Ingredients
- Instead of grape juice — I’ll grab cranberry or pomegranate juice. Both give a deep color and a nice tart punch.
- For lemon-lime soda — Sometimes I go with ginger ale or even club soda if I’m craving something less sweet.
- To replace orange juice — Apple juice or pineapple juice does the trick.
- No gummy worms? — Candy eyeballs, jelly beans, or even marshmallows can give it that creepy vibe.
Instructions
- I pour the juices and soda straight into the pitcher.
- If I’m swapping a juice, I just keep the same amount as the recipe calls for.
- A quick stir is all it takes to blend everything together.
- Once the candy’s in, I pop the punch in the fridge until people show up.
I like how these substitutions let me work with what I’ve got or cater to different tastes.
Honestly, I just keep playing around until I find a combo that hits the spot.
