Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups orange juice chilled
  • 2 cups cranberry juice unsweetened for a deeper color
  • 1 cup lemon-lime soda well chilled
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar optional, for extra sweetness
  • ice cubes ice cubes enough to fill serving glasses

Equipment

  • Large pitcher
  • Measuring cups
  • Spoon or stirrer
  • Drinking glasses

Method
 

  1. Pour the orange juice and cranberry juice into a large pitcher, then stir gently to combine, creating a deep, blood-red color.
  2. Add the water and optional sugar to the mixture, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. This helps balance the tartness and enhances the flavor.
  3. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to ensure it's cold and refreshing.
  4. Just before serving, pour in the lemon-lime soda, gently mixing to add fizz and a shimmering effect to the punch.
  5. Fill each glass with ice cubes to create a chilling base for the punch. Then, carefully pour the chilled mixture over the ice, allowing the color and bubbles to swirl together.
  6. For an extra spooky touch, scatter a few more ice cubes on top and garnish with gummy worms or Halloween-themed decorations if desired.

Notes

Serve immediately for the best fizz and visual effect. You can prepare the juice mixture ahead of time, but add the soda just before serving to keep the bubbles lively.
