Ingredients
Liquids
- 2 liters lemon-lime soda
- 64 ounces (8 cups) lemonade
Flavor & Mix-Ins
- 1/2 cup blue raspberry Kool-Aid powder
- 1.75 quarts lime sherbet
Garnishes
- 2 bags gummy worms, gummy brains, gummy body parts or eyeballs
Instructions
- Combine liquids: In a large punch bowl, pour the lemon-lime soda and lemonade, stirring gently to blend the two liquids evenly.
- Add Kool-Aid powder: Sprinkle the blue raspberry Kool-Aid powder into the lemon-lime soda and lemonade mixture, stirring thoroughly until fully dissolved and the punch has a vibrant blue color.
- Add sherbet: Spoon scoops of lime sherbet onto the surface of the punch. Do not stir the sherbet in, allowing it to float on top and create a frothy, textured look.
- Garnish the punch: Decorate the punch bowl with gummy worms and other gummy zombie-themed candies like brains and eyeballs, draping some off the edges for a spooky appearance.
- Serve: Pour the punch into individual glasses, adding two gummy worms hanging over the side of each glass for a fun and creepy finishing touch.
Notes
- For best results, chill all ingredients before assembling the punch.
- The sherbet will slowly melt into the punch, adding creaminess and flavor over time.
- Use sugar-free lemonade and Kool-Aid powder for a lower sugar option.
- This recipe can be adjusted for smaller or larger groups by maintaining the ingredient ratios.
- Gummy candies can be customized based on theme or kids’ preferences.
