5 STAR REVIEWS
We love Halloween – the decorations, the costumes, and of course, the candy. My kids are far past the age of trick-or-treating and now just help me man the door for the neighborhood cuties. They also help make stuff for parties we throw.
Along with monster munch and spiderweb dip, this fizzy Witches Brew recipe is a Halloween party favorite. With just three ingredients, it’s quick to prepare, super refreshing, and guaranteed to be a hit with kids and adults alike. Add dry ice for a spooky twist or coconut rum for an adult punch!
What’s in This Witches Brew Recipe?
You only need 3 easy ingredients for this Witches Brew Halloween party punch recipe: chilled pineapple juice, frozen orange sherbet, and chilled orange soda. You can also add in some alcohol for an adult punch. (Scroll down for measurements and complete printable recipe.)
Add Some Spooky Elements
- Add in a floating frozen hand. Fill a disposable latex-free glove with water, freeze until solid, carefully remove the latex and place the hand in the punch bowl right before serving.
- Decorate with creepy spiders and ghosts. Scatter some fake plastic spiders and ghost props around the punch bowl.
- Serve in a foggy cauldron and Halloween type glasses. Create a spooky fog effect by serving in a punch bowl with dry ice (see information below) and serve drinks in stemless skeleton glasses.

- Combine pineapple juice and rum. In a punch bowl, stir together a 52 ounce container chilled pineapple juice and 3 cups chilled coconut rum (if using.)
- Add in orange sherbet. Add in 1 pint frozen but softened orange sherbet, and stir until dissolved.
- Pour in orange soda. Just before serving, slowly pour in 2, 20 ounce bottles of chilled orange soda into the juice mixture.
- Enjoy over ice. Ladle into cups filled with ice and enjoy!
Possible Variations
- Green witches brew. You can make green witches brew instead, if preferred, by replacing the pineapple juice, orange sherbet, and orange soda with 7UP, lime sherbet, and limeade concentrate instead.
- Make a berry version. Swap out the pineapple juice, orange sherbet, and orange soda for cranberry juice, raspberry sorbet, and sparkling apple cider.
How Much Alcohol to Add
If making this punch boozy, I recommend Malibu Coconut Rum. Vanilla vodka would be delicious, too. For a moderately strong punch, use 3 to 4 cups of alcohol for 15 cups of punch. A standard, well-balanced punch follows a general 1:4 or 1:5 ratio of alcohol to mixers, which includes juices and sodas.
Serving Suggestions
Make the punch bowl creepy with dry ice as fog or include a floating frozen hand, as suggested above, and serve in skeleton glasses. Or if you want to keep the theme less creepy for a fall or harvest party, simply scatter fake autumn leaves, pine cones, and pumpkins around the punch bowl. You can have individual cups ready to go if you’re throwing a party where there will be kids, or allow adult guests to scoop their own.
How to Safely Serve Drinks with Dry Ice
Dry ice is pretty easy to use as long as you take precautions and handle it properly. Here are some important safety tips when handling dry ice.
- Where to buy dry ice? Some grocery stores and general merchandise stores carry dry ice, but can sometimes be out of stock. Larger chains like Costco and Walmart are likely to carry it, but your best bet is from a bulk ice dealer. I suggest doing a quick Google search to find suppliers in your area. It’s typically sold in minimum 10 pounds quantity and more.
- Available in slabs or pellets. I buy pellets since it’s easier to handle for recipe use. For this punch recipe to get the the overflowing smoke effect, I use 5-6 pellets for the punch bowl and 1 or 2 pellets for individual serving glass. I use metal tongs to add dry ice to the drinks.
- Do not store in the refrigerator. Keep the dry ice stored a regular cooler, not in the refrigerator, since it keeps releasing co2 and it’s not good for a closed environment.
- Use cryogenic gloves or anti freezing gloves. While handling dry ice, use cryogenic gloves or anti-freezing gloves to prevent frost bite. Do not use nitrile or latex gloves and do not handle them with bare hands, which will cause your skin to burn.
- Is dry ice safe in drinks? Dry ice is safe to consume in a drink once it has completely disappeared. Do not swallow dry ice.
To make your Halloween party complete, serve it with more Halloween treats like our Halloween Poke Cake, Ghost Meringue Cookies, Monster Munch, and Bloodshot Eyeballs!

Love the skeleton hand glass. Where did you get them?
Fun, right? Amazon. I linked to them in the article.
absolutely delicious!! thanks for sharing!
It was a hit at last year’s party with guests of all ages
I served this (whipped up tout de suite in a plastic black ‘cauldron’) at my first daughter’s elementary school halloween party and a little kid came up out of nowhere and asked, “Did you make this?” “Yes” I answered. “Well, It’s awesome!” , he replied. That’s all you need to know.
Made this with added coconut rum. Big hit!
I did a roundup of fall recipes on my blog (http://www.acedarspoon.com/15-fall-recipes-part-2/) and added this drink..I love it! Such a great idea.
Great Halloween colors! I going to link to this in my upcoming Halloween recipes post.
We made 2 versions of this – one with the suggested alcohol and one without. Such an easy punch recipe – we all enjoyed it!
If I can buy natural pineapple juice, sugar free orange soda and
reduced fat sherbet, I’ll try it! The rum sounds good, too.
You should post pictures of your cuties in costume! Hope you’re able to decide whether to venture out with them or stay put and let other cuties come to you. It seems like a tough call.
This is something good for kids. I like it like that. But we also added vodka.
Your house sounds a lot like my house when I was younger. My three younger siblings were all deathly allergic to all nuts. Although my sisters have grown out of it, my brother has not. I still find myself checking labels on the off-chance my brother stops by my house unannounced! I’m very careful when I’m baking not to contaminate anything. And my dad always had enough Reese’s Cups and M&M’s to last through at least Thanksgiving after we went through my younger siblings’ loot! :-)
And I love how you think! Adding rum so the adults don’t feel left out. :-)
This is so sweet how kind you are to your brother!
First time working with dry ice – wish me luck! Thanks so much for all the helpful tips.
That looks shockingly like beer…I was pretty sure it was, in fact, until you said you served it to Haley…and I know you’re not THAT kind of parent! It sounds awesome though…I’d choose it over beer any day.
And if you have any extra Reese’s you need to get rid of, I’ll gladly take care of them. Anything for Haley!
I’m down for the rum!!! John & I fight over who hands out the candy! What ever is left, is never a problem, we buy candy we like! LOL
The rum sounds great but how much would you add to this recipe? :)
Hi Alexis – for best taste it’s about 1 part rum to 3 parts soda, and since you’re also including the pineapple juice, maybe 20 ounces. Start there, taste, and adjust.
