Yield: 4
Materials
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- - 1 cup orange juice
- - 1 cup lemon-lime soda
- - ½ cup grenadine
- - ½ cup coconut cream
- - Ice cubes as needed
- - Gummy ghosts or candy eyes for garnish
Instructions
- **Prepare the Punch Base:**
- - Start by preparing the base of your **Ghostly Halloween Punch**. In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine 1 cup of pineapple juice, 1 cup of orange juice, and 1 cup of lemon-lime soda. Stir well to ensure that all of the flavors are thoroughly mixed.
- **Add the Grenadine:**
- - For that spooky Halloween effect, it's time to add the grenadine. Slowly pour ½ cup of grenadine into the punch mixture. Since grenadine is heavier than the juices and soda, it will sink to the bottom, creating a creepy gradient effect that resembles dripping blood—perfect for setting a spooky mood with your **Ghostly Halloween Punch**.
- **Mix in the Coconut Cream:**
- - Now, let's make this punch truly ghostly! Using the back of a spoon, gently float ½ cup of coconut cream on top of the punch. The coconut cream should spread across the surface, giving the drink a white, cloudy layer reminiscent of a ghostly mist. This not only adds a layer of creaminess to your **Ghostly Halloween Punch**, but also makes it look like there are ghosts swirling in your drink.
- **Add Ice:**
- - No punch is complete without ice. Add enough ice cubes to the pitcher or punch bowl to chill the drink and keep it cool throughout the party. The ice will also help maintain the spooky look of the **Ghostly Halloween Punch** as it melts slowly.
- **Garnish for Spooky Fun:**
- - For the final touch, add some Halloween-themed garnishes. Float gummy ghosts or candy eyes on top of the punch. These playful additions make the **Ghostly Halloween Punch** even more festive and fun. The gummies will float around, adding to the eerie visual appeal of the drink.
- **Serve and Enjoy:**
- - Before serving, give the punch a gentle stir to blend the flavors slightly while keeping the ghostly layer intact. Pour the punch into glasses and let your guests enjoy this delicious and spooky treat!
