Ingredients You’ll Need
This punch comes together with just three ingredients—because party prep should be scary fun, not just… scary. Each one adds something a little magical to the mix.
- Sherbet – Lime or orange sherbet works great here. It adds color, creamy texture, and that fun foamy “potion” vibe when it melts into the soda.
- Lemon-lime soda – This gives your punch its bubbly fizz and balances out the sweetness. Go with Sprite, 7UP, or even a store brand.
- Pineapple juice – Adds a fruity zing and depth of flavor that makes the punch taste more grown-up—even though it’s totally kid-friendly.
That’s it! Scoop, pour, fizz, and serve. You’ve officially got yourself a Halloween crowd-pleaser.
Jesseca’s Recipe Review
I’ve made this recipe for witches brew punch for everything from Halloween parties to class treats, and it never disappoints. It’s the kind of recipe that takes two minutes, looks totally over-the-top fun, and has kids and adults asking for refills. The foam, the fizz, the fruity flavor—chef’s kiss.
Tip from Jesseca:
Want perfect punch every time? Pre-scoop your sherbet onto a baking sheet and freeze it. When it’s party time, just drop the frozen scoops in—no mess, no stress, maximum spooky effect.
Substitutions and Variations
Want to mix things up? This spooky sip is super flexible. Here are a few fun ways to customize your easy Witches Brew Punch to fit your crowd (or your fridge).
- Try different sherbet flavors: Lime gives that eerie green glow, but orange or rainbow sherbet works great too—especially if you’re going for a bubbling cauldron vibe.
- Switch up the soda: No lemon-lime? Ginger ale or club soda work in a pinch. Just keep the fizz!
- Add creepy garnishes: Think gummy worms, candy eyeballs, or plastic spiders (for decoration, not digestion).
- Make it boozy (alcoholic witches brew punch): Add a splash of vodka, rum, or coconut rum for a grown-up version—just be sure to label it!
- Make it spooky purple: Swap pineapple juice for grape juice and use raspberry sherbet for a witchy twist.
There’s no wrong way to brew this punch. Stir up your own version and let the cauldron bubble over with Halloween fun!
How To Make Witches Brew Punch
If you’ve got five minutes, you’ve got punch. This Witches Brew Punch is truly as easy as scoop, pour, and stir. Whether you’re making a big batch for a crowd or serving individual cups, the magic happens fast.
- Add scoops of sherbet to a large pitcher or punch bowl.
- Pour lemon-lime soda over the top.
- Stir in half the pineapple juice for a fruity twist.
- For single servings, scoop sherbet into cups, add a splash of pineapple juice, then top with soda.
That’s it! Serve right away for maximum fizz and spooky foam. Bonus points if you toss in a gummy eyeball or two for flair.
Storage and Make-Ahead Instructions
- Make-ahead: This punch is best made right before serving to keep the fizz and that fun foamy sherbet effect. If you’re prepping for a party, you can scoop the sherbet into the punch bowl or cups ahead of time and keep it in the freezer. Then just add the soda and juice when you’re ready to serve.
- Leftovers: Not gonna lie—Witches Brew Punch doesn’t store well. The soda loses its fizz, and the sherbet melts into a sweet, slushy mix. If you do have leftovers, pop them in the fridge and enjoy them within a few hours as more of a fruity drink than a punch.
Recipe FAQs
Not really. It’s best served immediately so the sherbet stays frozen and the soda stays fizzy. But you can pre-scoop the sherbet and freeze the scoops for quick assembly.
Lime sherbet is classic for that eerie green color, but orange or rainbow sherbet are great festive options too. Choose what matches your party vibe!
Totally! It’s non-alcoholic, fruity, and fun. If you’re serving adults, you can always offer a spiked version on the side.
Yes! You can leave it out or swap in orange or white grape juice. The punch will still be sweet and bubbly.
You can, but it’ll be much creamier and less tart. Sherbet gives the punch its signature tang and foaminess.
Add a splash of vodka, coconut rum, or even flavored schnapps to the pitcher (or individual cups). Just make sure to label it clearly if kids are around.
One pitcher usually makes about 8–10 servings, depending on cup size. For a crowd, double (or triple!) the recipe.
