Recipe Variations

You can easily make this Halloween punch recipe to suit your tastes. Try swapping the Sprite for ginger ale or club soda, and other fruit juices can be used; grape juice, orange juice or pineapple juice are great substitutions.

You can also have fun with the garnishes, add in a couple of gummy worms or candy eyeballs, and rim the glass with Halloween sprinkles.

Make Ahead

You can pour the blueberry simple syrup, lemon juice, apple juice and cranberry juice into glasses a few hours ahead of time and keep them refrigerated. When ready to serve, you can top the glasses with the Sprite so that they have a fizz when you hand them out.

The same goes if you are making a pitcher or punchbowl. Add the Sprite right before serving so that you get those bubbles!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! This recipe is easily scaled up, so it's a great option if you have guests. Make it up in a pitcher or large punch bowl and people can help themselves!

Can you add ice to the punch?
