Ingredients
- 4 cups (1 quart) lemonade (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 cups lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite or 7UP)
- 1 cup grape juice (or blue sports drink for color variation)
- 1 cup green sports drink (such as Gatorade or Powerade, or kiwi juice for natural color)
- Ice cubes (about 2 cups, more as needed)
- Food coloring (optional, neon green, purple, or blue)
- Lemon slices (for garnish)
- Gummy worms (for garnish)
- Optional: blackberries, blueberries, edible eyeballs, or other Halloween candies for garnish
Instructions
- Place a generous layer of ice cubes (about 2 cups) into a large pitcher, punch bowl, or serving cauldron. For extra fun, freeze gummy worms into some of the ice cubes ahead of time.
- Pour 4 cups of chilled lemonade over the ice.
- Slowly add 2 cups of lemon-lime soda along the side of the bowl to preserve the fizz.
- Gently drizzle 1 cup of grape juice in a spiral pattern over the lemonade. Do not stir.
- Pour 1 cup of green sports drink from the opposite side to create swirling colors.
- If desired, add a drop or two of neon food coloring in the center for a bolder effect. Swirl gently with the back of a spoon for a marbled look, but do not overmix.
- Float lemon slices on top and add gummy worms, candy eyeballs, or berries for garnish. For a smoking effect, add a small piece of food-safe dry ice (with adult supervision, never serve dry ice directly in cups).
- Ladle into clear cups and serve immediately. For extra flair, rim cups with colored sugar or edible glitter.
Notes
For best color swirls, chill all liquids before assembling and use plenty of ice. Pour each liquid slowly in different spots and avoid over-stirring. Add garnishes just before serving for maximum effect. Use allergen-free candies and natural food coloring for dietary needs. Store leftovers (without garnishes) in the fridge for up to 2 days; revive fizz with fresh soda if needed.
