Ingredients:

  • 1 (12 ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
  • 64 fluid ounces pineapple juice, chilled
  • 2 liters ginger ale or lemon-lime soda, chilled
  • Green food coloring (gel works best)
  • 1 (15 ounce) can lychee fruits, drained and patted dry
  • 1 (2.25 ounce) can pitted black olives

Instructions:

  1. Pat the canned lychee fruits dry. Carefully insert one half of a pitted black olive into the cavity of each lychee to create your floating eyeballs. Place them on a tray and refrigerate.
  2. In your large punch bowl (or dispenser), combine the thawed limeade concentrate and the pineapple juice. Stir just enough to dissolve the concentrate completely.
  3. Gradually add the green food coloring. Use gel for a richer color. Stir gently until the entire mixture takes on that intense, spooky, ghoulish hue. Cover the punch base and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  4. Just before serving, slowly pour in the chilled ginger ale or lemon-lime soda. Do not over-mix — a single, slow swirl with the ladle is enough.
  5. Float your prepared lychee eyeballs on top. Drape gummy worms over the edges so they look like they’re crawling into the drink. If using an ice hand, float it now.
