    Halloween Hocus Pocus Punch

    Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

    A spooktacular Halloween punch with only three ingredients, Hocus Pocus Punch is perfect to sip on for a fun-filled Halloween night.  Whether you are hosting a Halloween Party, carving pumpkins, or just enjoying the door-to-door trick or treaters, this punch is delicious, super simple to make, and oh so festive.

    The bright lime green potion is made up of sprite, pineapple juice, lime sherbet, and fresh lime slices and poured into a large punch bowl. Each glass is given a fun look with a festive sprinkle rim. Once the punch is ready to serve you can add in a few small chips of food-grade dry ice to make it extra spooky. Make sure that the dry ice dissipates before consuming the punch!

    This punch will quickly become the star of the show at your Halloween party. Hocus Pocus Punch pairs amazingly with this Halloween Snack Mix and Halloween Snack Board. There are no tricks just treats for this fun, party-ready Halloween Hocus Pocus Punch Recipe! I loved sharing this recipe with Lee over at DoSayGive!

    Ingredients

    2 women pouring Sprite into a large punch bowl
    • Sprite- If you want a slightly less sugary alternative, you can use Sprite Zero
    • Pineapple Juice- For fruity flavor and sweetness
    • Lime Sherbet- Sherbet will add a rich creaminess to the punch. Lime will add a delicious citrus flavor and spooky lime green color. If you can’t find lime sherbet you can use orange sherbet for a fun and bright orange punch!
    • Limes- As a nice garnish
    • Dry Ice- If you want to add this special effect, use food-grade dry ice

    Directions

    2 women using a ladle to pour punch into a glass
    • Rub each glass rim with a slice of lime and dip in Halloween sprinkles; set aside
    • Scoop the lime sorbet into the bottom of a large punch bowl
    • Pour sprite and pineapple juice and add the lime slices
    • Wearing gloves, gently break up the dry ice and sprinkle a few pieces into the punch to add a smokey effect
    • Serve in your decorated glasses and enjoy!

    • To make this punch a cocktail, add 2 cups of chilled vodka for an extra special twist

      Should the sprite be mixed at room temperature or should you refrigerate the sprite before hand? Thanks!

        Hi Regina,
        I like adding the sprite straight from the refrigerator so it is cold but room temperature also works fine bc you are adding the dry ice which will make it cold as well!

      The recipe ingredients call for pineapple juice but the instructions (step 3) call for lime juice. Is step 3 of the instructions referring to the pineapple juice or should the pineapple juice be lime juice?

        I apologize, that was a typo! It is pineapple juice like the ingredient list shows!

      I can’t find lime sorbet anywhere. Can I go without it or substitute it for something else?
