Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 4 cups orange juice preferably chilled
• 2 cups pineapple juice fresh or bottled
• 2 cups sparkling lemon-lime soda chilled, adds fizz
• 1/2 cup lime juice freshly squeezed

• garnishes as needed spooky garnishes (e.g., gummy worms, blackberries, lime wedges) for decoration

Equipment

• Large punch bowl
• Stirring spoon
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Ice tongs
• Protective gloves or cloth for handling dry ice

Method

 

1. Start by pouring the chilled orange juice and pineapple juice into a large punch bowl, creating a bright, colorful base.
2. Add the freshly squeezed lime juice to the mixture to enhance the citrus flavor and a touch of brightness.
3. Gently stir the mixture with a long spoon until all the juices are well combined, creating a uniform, vibrant liquid.
4. Just before serving, pour the chilled sparkling lemon-lime soda into the punch to introduce bubbles and fizz for a lively texture.
5. Carefully add a small piece of dry ice to the punch while wearing gloves or using tongs to handle it safely. This will create a bubbling, fog-like effect that adds to the spooky atmosphere.
6. Garnish the punch with spooky decorations such as gummy worms draped over the edge, lime wedges, or blackberries, to give it a fun and eerie appearance.
7. Serve the Monster Mash Punch immediately, enjoying the bubbling fog and vibrant colors as guests gather around the spooky spectacle.
