Instructions

Combine the Juices and Soda. In a large punch bowl or beverage dispenser, pour in the cranberry juice, orange juice, lemon-lime soda, pineapple juice, and fresh lime juice. Stir gently to combine all the flavors evenly.
Add Grenadine for Color. If a richer, deeper red color is desired, pour in the grenadine syrup and mix it through the punch to enhance both color and sweetness.
Decorate with Fruit Slices. Add the sliced orange and lime rounds into the punch for an extra burst of citrus flavor and a colorful, festive presentation.
Chill and Garnish Before Serving. Just before serving, add ice cubes or frozen hand-shaped ice molds made by freezing juice in clean gloves and peeling them off carefully. Float spooky garnishes like gummy worms, candy eyeballs, or plastic spiders on top for a Halloween-themed visual effect.
Serve the Punch. Serve the punch chilled in clear cups to showcase the vibrant colors and festive garnishes, making it perfect for any Halloween gathering.

Notes

For an adult version, add 1–2 cups of vodka or rum to the punch.
For a dramatic bubbling effect, add dry ice just before serving but use with caution and never consume dry ice directly.
Frozen fruit hands can be prepared by filling clean gloves with juice or water and freezing them overnight.
This punch is best served fresh but can be prepared a few hours ahead and refrigerated.
