Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 48 ounces cran-pineapple juice
- 32 ounces ginger ale
- 8 ounces coconut water
- ½ teaspoon edible gold glitter dust (optional)
- Gummy eyeballs, vampire teeth and worms, for garnish
- Coconut rum (optional)
Ice Hand (Optional)
- 1 food-grade latex or nitrile glove
- 1 rubber band
Instructions
- Prepare the Ice Hand: The day before serving, fill the food-grade latex or nitrile glove with water, tie the top securely with a rubber band, and place it in the freezer overnight to create a spooky ice hand.
- Mix Punch Base: Just before the party, in a large punch bowl, combine the cran-pineapple juice, ginger ale, and coconut water. Stir gently to mix all liquids evenly.
- Add Glitter: If using, sprinkle in the edible gold glitter dust and stir carefully to distribute the shimmer throughout the punch.
- Incorporate Ice Hand and Garnishes: Remove the frozen ice hand from the glove by cutting the glove off carefully, then add this to the punch bowl along with the gummy eyeballs, vampire teeth, and worms for a creepy effect.
- Serve: Pour the punch into glasses and serve as is for a non-alcoholic treat, or add 1 shot (about 1.5 ounces) of coconut rum per serving for a spiked version.
Notes
- For an adults-only party, spike the entire punch bowl by stirring in 12 ounces of coconut rum. You may omit the coconut water in this case to keep the flavor balanced.
- The ice hand adds a fun visual element but is optional; you can also use regular ice cubes if preferred.
- Edible glitter adds sparkle to the drink but should be food-grade and safe for consumption.
