Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1L cranberry juice
- 500ml orange juice
- 250ml pomegranate juice
Fizz
- 1L lemonade (or soda water for less sweetness)
Fruit Garnishes
- 200g frozen mixed berries
- 2 oranges, sliced into rounds
- 1 lemon, sliced into rounds
- 1 apple, cored and sliced into spooky shapes (use Halloween cookie cutters)
- Ice cubes
Optional Alcoholic Additions
- 250ml dark rum, vodka, or gin
Instructions
- Prepare Spooky Fruit: Freeze grapes or blueberries inside ice cube trays to create “eyeball” ice cubes. Use Halloween-themed cookie cutters to slice the apple into spooky shapes like bats or pumpkins to add a festive touch.
- Mix the Base: In a large punch bowl, combine the cranberry juice, orange juice, and pomegranate juice. Stir gently to blend the flavors evenly.
- Add Fizz: Just before serving, pour in the lemonade or soda water to add a refreshing, fizzy kick to the punch. Stir lightly to mix without losing carbonation.
- Garnish and Serve: Add the frozen mixed berries, citrus slices, and regular ice cubes to the punch bowl. Ladle the punch into cups and serve with Halloween-themed straws for a spooky presentation. For alcoholic versions, add dark rum, vodka, or gin to taste before serving.
Notes
- Use soda water instead of lemonade for a less sweet, lighter punch.
- Freeze berries or grapes in water inside ice cube trays for fun “eyeball” ice cubes.
- For adult parties, add 250ml dark rum, vodka, or gin to the punch base before adding lemonade.
- Use Halloween cookie cutters to create festive fruit shapes for extra fun presentation.
- Pairs well with themed chocolates such as Dark Chocolate Fruit Fondant Creams for kids and Dark Chocolate Ginger Tub or Dark Chocolate Mint and Ginger for adults.
