Description
Hocus Pocus Punch is a festive, glowing green Halloween drink made with lime sherbet, pineapple juice, and Sprite. Bubbly, citrusy, and magical with a dry ice fog effect, this non-alcoholic punch is perfect for Halloween parties, spooky gatherings, or family movie nights, with easy variations for adults or themed fun.
Ingredients
2 liters Sprite
4 cups pineapple juice
2 quarts lime sherbet (or orange sherbet as an alternative)
2 limes, sliced
Food-grade dry ice (for smoky effect)
Halloween-themed sprinkles, for garnish
Instructions
- Rub a lime slice around the rim of each glass, then dip into Halloween sprinkles. Let dry.
- Scoop lime sherbet into a large punch bowl.
- Pour Sprite and pineapple juice over the sherbet, then add lime slices.
- Carefully break dry ice into chunks (using gloves) and drop into the punch for a bubbling, smoky effect.
- Serve immediately in prepared glasses and enjoy the spooky punch.
Notes
- Do not consume dry ice directly; wait for it to fully dissolve or ladle punch without it.
- Best served fresh, as fizz and sherbet texture diminish over time.
- Make ahead by mixing juice and soda, then add sherbet and dry ice just before serving.
- Orange sherbet makes a pumpkin-hued version for extra festivity.
- Add gummy worms, fruit slices, or edible glitter for a fun garnish.
