Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2 liters lemon-lime soda
- 64 ounces lemonade
- ½ cup blue raspberry Kool-Aid powder
Toppings
- 1.75 quart lime sherbet
- 2 bags gummy worms, brains, body parts
Instructions
- Combine liquids: In a large punch bowl, pour in 2 liters of lemon-lime soda and 64 ounces of lemonade. Stir gently to mix.
- Add Kool-Aid powder: Sprinkle ½ cup blue raspberry Kool-Aid powder into the bowl and stir until it is well dissolved and combined with the liquid.
- Add sherbet topping: Gently place scoops of 1.75 quart lime sherbet on top of the punch without mixing it in, allowing it to float.
- Garnish with candy: Decorate the punch with gummy worms, brains, eyeballs, and other body part candies for a spooky effect.
- Serve: Ladle punch into individual glasses, adding two gummy worms hanging off the side of each glass for garnish and fun presentation.
Notes
- Scoop the sherbet into muffin tins ahead of time to save time during the party and avoid messy scooping right before serving.
- Prepare the punch last-minute, as it takes less than five minutes; this prevents the sherbet from melting too much and keeps gummy candy from sinking.
- Add two gummy worms to each cup in advance rather than placing a bowl of gummy worms for self-serving; this maintains the garnish appeal and prevents candy issues.
- Do not double the recipe initially; make the basic recipe first and add more punch later if needed to preserve flavor balance with the sherbet topping.
- For added spooky effect, carefully add a small amount of dry ice to the punch bowl; ensure an adult serves it and no one ingests dry ice directly.
