Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (46 oz) pineapple juice, chilled
- 1 can (12 oz) frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
- 1 liter lemon-lime soda (e.g., Sprite or 7UP), chilled
- 1–2 teaspoons green food coloring (gel preferred)
- 1 cup lime slices (thin)
- 1 cup gummy worms
- 1/2 cup plastic eyeballs
- Ice cubes (optional, or use a large ice ring)
Instructions
- Chill the pineapple juice and lemon-lime soda in the fridge for about an hour before making the punch.
- In a large punch bowl or pitcher, combine the chilled pineapple juice and thawed limeade concentrate. Whisk until the limeade is fully dissolved.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of green food coloring with 2 tablespoons of the punch base. Stir until smooth, then pour into the punch bowl and mix well. Add more food coloring (up to 1/2 teaspoon at a time) for a deeper green color.
- Optional: Refrigerate the punch bowl for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Just before serving, slowly pour the chilled lemon-lime soda down the side of the bowl to preserve carbonation. Stir gently.
- Add the lime slices, gummy worms, and plastic eyeballs. Stir gently once more.
- Add ice cubes or a large ice ring right before serving.
- Ladle into cups, ensuring each cup gets a gummy worm and an eyeball. Serve immediately.
Notes
Add the soda at the last minute to keep it fizzy. Start with less food coloring and add more as needed. For a glow-in-the-dark effect, use tonic water instead of lemon-lime soda. The juice base can be made up to 24 hours in advance.
