Ingredients:

• 2 cups (480 ml) grape juice (100% juice for best color and flavor)
• 1 cup (240 ml) cranberry juice
• 1 cup (240 ml) berry punch or blueberry juice
• 2 liters (67.6 fl oz) lemon-lime soda (chilled; Sprite or 7-Up)
• 1-2 cups (240-480 ml) club soda (optional, for extra fizz)
• Gummy worms (for garnish)
• Plastic eyeballs (for decoration, not edible)
• Fresh blueberries or blackberries (for garnish)
• Dry ice (optional; use with caution and adult supervision for smoky effect)

Directions:

1. Chill all ingredients ahead of time for at least 2-3 hours.
2. Pour grape juice, cranberry juice, and berry punch or blueberry juice into a large punch bowl. Stir gently to combine.
3. Slowly add chilled lemon-lime soda, pouring against the side of the bowl to preserve fizz. Stir gently.
4. Add club soda for extra bubbles if desired. Stir just once, very gently.
5. Taste and adjust: add lime juice for tartness or more berry punch/lemon-lime soda for sweetness.
6. Add ice cubes if serving immediately (skip if using dry ice).
7. For a smoky effect, carefully add a small chunk of dry ice just before serving. Never let anyone touch or ingest dry ice.
8. Garnish with gummy worms, fresh berries, and plastic eyeballs.
9. Ladle into glasses and serve immediately while cold and fizzy. Add a gummy worm or berry to each glass for extra flair.

how to store Fizzy Purple Potion Halloween Punch

This punch is best served fresh. If you have leftovers, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. However, the fizz may go flat over time, so it’s better to enjoy it right after making it. If you used dry ice, make sure to remove all dry ice pieces before storing.
