Ingredients You’ll Need

These simple ingredients blend together beautifully to create layers of flavor and fun. I always grab chilled ginger ale because the fizz makes this punch feel incredibly fresh and lively.

• Ginger Ale (or Sprite): I usually opt for ginger ale for a slight spicy zing, but Sprite works if you want something sweeter and lighter.
• Pineapple Juice: Adds tropical sweetness and balances the fizz perfectly. Fresh is great if you have it, but bottled works just fine.
• Green Food Coloring (optional): This is where the witchy vibe kicks in. A few drops go a long way in making it look magical.
• Lime Sherbet: This is the real magic ingredient that creates a foamy, frothy ‘brew’ effect—don’t skip it!
• Sliced Limes: I love how the fresh citrus aroma complements the punch and makes it look extra festive.
• Gummy Worms: The perfect creepy-crawly garnish that kids and adults both can’t resist.

Variations

I love making this witches brew my own by switching up just a few things here and there—it keeps the punch interesting! You can dress it up or down depending on the crowd and occasion.

• Adult Version: I’ve stirred in a splash of rum or vodka for grown-up parties, and it turns out amazing—just keep the sherbet for that frothy fun factor!
• Fruity Twists: Sometimes I swap pineapple juice for orange or mango juice to give it a different tropical vibe. You’ll find it’s still delightfully tasty.
• Color Change: I discovered that swapping green food coloring for purple or black (with activated charcoal or food-safe dye) takes the spooky look up a notch for Halloween.
• Vegan Option: Use a dairy-free lime sorbet instead of sherbet, and you’re all set without losing the foaming effect.

How to Make Witches Brew Punch Recipe

Step 1: Mix the fizz and juice

Pour the chilled ginger ale and pineapple juice into a large pitcher or punch bowl. If you’re going for that spooky green, add a couple drops of food coloring and gently swirl it in. Just a heads-up: add the food coloring slowly and mix carefully to get the shade just right without turning it too dark.

Step 2: Add the sherbet for the magic foam

Right before serving, spoon generous scoops of lime sherbet into the punch. It’ll start bubbling and foaming up immediately — which is exactly the fun effect you want. I like to give it a slow, gentle stir so the foam doesn’t completely disappear right away.

Step 3: Garnish and serve

Scatter sliced limes on top and drape those gummy worms around the rim or floating in the punch. It’s silly, creepy, and totally Instagram-worthy. I promise your guests will be charmed by both the look and taste.

How to Serve Witches Brew Punch Recipe

Garnishes

I’m a sucker for gummy worms draped over the rim—they add such playful, creepy-cute drama. Sliced limes don’t just look pretty; they add fresh citrus scent with every sip. Sometimes I toss in a handful of blackberries or green apple slices for extra color depth and a little tartness.

Side Dishes

This punch pairs beautifully with light finger foods. I like to serve it alongside mini grilled cheese sandwiches, pumpkin-shaped deviled eggs, or even some spicy popcorn. The sweet-and-fizzy punch balances savory snacks perfectly.

Creative Ways to Present

For parties, I’ve set up the punch in a cauldron-style bowl with dry ice underneath for a spooky fog effect—guests always get a kick out of it! Using themed ice cubes like frozen berries or spiders made from edible gelatin also amps up the presentation.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you happen to have leftovers (which is rare because people LOVE this punch), just cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge. The fizz does soften over time, so it’s best enjoyed within a few hours.

Freezing

I don’t recommend freezing this punch because the carbonation and sherbet don’t freeze well together. Instead, freeze the lime sherbet separately for future batches to keep it fresh.

Reheating

This punch is best served cold and fizzy, so reheating isn’t really an option. If you need to revive the flavor after refrigeration, give the base (before sherbet) a gentle stir and add fresh lime slices or a squeeze of lemon to brighten it back up.
