Customizing Your Spooky Punch

One of the best things about this recipe is how easily customizable it is! Here are a few fun ways you can mix it up:

  • Change Up the Soda: If you want a less fizzy drink, swap the Sprite for a lighter option like sparkling water or ginger ale. For a slightly more citrusy flavor, try using orange soda!
  • Try Different Sherbet Flavors: While orange sherbet gives the punch that festive Halloween color, you can easily swap it out for lime or raspberry sherbet if you prefer different flavors. Layering different sherbet colors can also make the punch look extra festive and fun.
  • Add Floating ‘Body Parts’: To give your punch an extra spooky vibe, freeze plastic eyeballs or spider rings in ice cube trays and drop them into the bowl. As they melt, they’ll float on top, adding a little fright to each glass.
