New Delhi, October 25, 2024: This spooky punch is perfect for Halloween or any festive occasion. It’s a non-alcoholic mocktail that combines the sweetness of orange juice with the fizz of lemon-lime soda, topped with gummy spiders for a creepy-crawly effect.
Ingredients
(Serves 4-6 people)
- Orange juice – 4 cups (preferably freshly squeezed or store-bought)
- Lemon-lime soda – 2 cups (such as Sprite or 7UP)
- Gummy spiders – 10-12 pieces (for decoration)
- Ice cubes – As needed
- Orange slices – For garnish (optional)
- Black food coloring gel – A few drops (optional, for a spooky effect)
- Mint leaves – For garnish (optional)
Method
- Prepare the punch base:
- In a large pitcher, pour 4 cups of chilled orange juice. If you want to give it a spookier appearance, add 2-3 drops of black food coloring gel and gently stir until it blends evenly into the juice.
- Add the soda:
- Pour in the 2 cups of lemon-lime soda into the pitcher. Stir gently to maintain the fizz.
- Chill the punch:
- Add a handful of ice cubes into the pitcher, or alternatively, you can add ice to individual glasses before serving.
- Garnish for a spooky vibe:
- Place 2-3 gummy spiders inside each serving glass. You can also hang one on the rim of each glass for an extra creepy touch.
- Add an orange slice to the edge of each glass as garnish, or a sprig of fresh mint if desired.
- Serve:
- Pour the punch into glasses over the gummy spiders. Stir gently to avoid losing the carbonation from the soda.
- Enjoy:
- Serve immediately to enjoy the spooky, sweet, and fizzy mocktail.
Tips:
- You can freeze some gummy spiders inside ice cubes for added effect.
- For a more intense look, use black glasses or add dry ice to create a foggy, eerie punch bowl experience. (Make sure to remove the dry ice before drinking!)
This Spooky Orange Punch Mocktail is sure to be a hit at any Halloween party or festive gathering!
