When I’m entertaining in the fall, I love to offer a variety of seasonal drink recipes like slow cooker apple cider, Thanksgiving punch, Halloween punch and this fun and simple witches brew. Halloween is full of treats, but you need a good drink to wash down all that candy! This witches brew punch is a mixture of orange and pineapple delight with a bit of fizz, the perfect amount of sweetness and a creamy texture. It’s perfect for all the little trick or treaters in your life.
Witches Brew Ingredients
To make this recipe, you will need orange soda, pineapple juice, orange sherbet and gummy worms or gummy spiders.
How Do You Make Witches Brew?
Place the orange sherbet in the bottom of a large pitcher or punch bowl. Pour the pineapple juice and orange soda over the sherbet then stir to combine. Float some extra scoops of sherbet on top of the punch. Add your gummies or other Halloween decorations as garnish, then serve.
Tips For The Perfect Drink
This witches brew is best when served immediately, as the sherbet will continue to melt in the drink over time. I like to use refrigerated fresh pineapple juice when possible for the best flavor. For an even more vivid Halloween orange hue in the drink, add a few drops of orange food coloring. You can add some novelty ice cubes such as eyeball ice cubes for an extra festive presentation. Another option is to use dry ice for a smoky effect. If you use dry ice, you can put a large chunk in the bottom of the punch bowl, or put some dry ice in a large bowl with some water, then place a smaller bowl of the punch inside the larger bowl. Either way, make sure no one actually drinks the dry ice.
Flavor Variations
This punch is delicious as is, but you can easily substitute in other ingredients for a different flavor and look.
Green Witches Brew: Use green Hawaiian punch, lemon lime soda and lime sherbet. Juice: Swap out the pineapple juice for orange juice or mango nectar. Soda: You can use lemon lime soda or ginger ale instead of orange soda, you’ll just need to add some orange food coloring to the drink. Sherbet: If you can’t find orange sherbet, pineapple sherbet is a great substitute. Alcohol: Turn this into an adult drink by adding 1 1/2 cups of vodka or white rum.
You cannot go wrong with witches brew for a delicious and refreshing drink that’s perfect for Halloween.
