This eerie green punch is the star of any Halloween party, combining pineapple, lime, and a creamy sweetness that kids and adults love. Quick to make with simple ingredients, it’s the perfect non-alcoholic drink for spooky gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (64-ounce) bottle pineapple juice (unsweetened or sweetened)
  • 1 (2-liter) bottle lemon-lime soda (Sprite or 7-Up)
  • 1 (12-ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon green food coloring (gel-based preferred)
  • 1 cup cold water
  • Optional: 1 cup pineapple sherbet (for a creamier float-style punch)
  • Optional garnish: gummy worms, plastic spiders, or lime slices

Instructions

  1. Chill your ingredients overnight: Refrigerate the pineapple juice, lemon-lime soda, and limeade concentrate for about 24 hours before your party.
  2. Mix the base: In a large bowl or pitcher, combine the chilled pineapple juice, thawed limeade concentrate, and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the color: Start with 1/2 teaspoon of green food coloring and stir well. Add more 1/4 teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired shade (about 1 teaspoon total).
  4. Add the water: Pour in the cold water and stir gently to thin the base slightly.
  5. Cover and refrigerate: If making ahead, cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours to let flavors meld.
  6. Add the soda just before serving: Slowly pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda and stir gently with a whisk to preserve carbonation.
  7. Add ice or sherbet: If using pineapple sherbet, scoop it in gently and let it float. For ice, add it to individual cups rather than the punch bowl to prevent dilution.
  8. Garnish and serve: Add spooky garnishes like gummy worms, plastic spiders, or lime slices. Serve immediately while cold and fizzy.

Notes

For the best flavor, chill all ingredients overnight. Avoid adding ice directly to the punch bowl to prevent dilution; instead, serve ice on the side or freeze some of the punch mixture into ice cubes. Gel food coloring works better than liquid for a vibrant color without watering down the punch. The base (without soda) can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
