What Is Witches Brew Punch Recipe?
Witches Brew Punch is a spooky, fizzy Halloween party punch that looks like it came from a witch’s cauldron — bright green, bubbling, and fun to serve. This witches brew punch recipe uses lime sherbet, lemon-lime soda, ginger ale, pineapple juice, and lime juice. The sherbet melts into the soda and makes the punch creamy, green, and fizzy without any food colouring needed. It tastes sweet-tart, light, and refreshing, with a gentle ginger fizz.
Witches Brew Punch Recipe: Ingredients With Notes
For 12 servings you need: 4 cups (1 litre) lemon-lime soda, chilled — this gives the main fizz and sweetness. 2 cups (480 ml) ginger ale, chilled — adds a gentle ginger sparkle. 3 cups (720 ml) pineapple juice, chilled — gives body and a golden sweetness. 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh lime juice, about 4 limes — keeps the punch tart and fresh. 1 quart (4 cups / 950 ml) lime sherbet — this makes the punch green, creamy, and fizzy as it melts. 4 cups ice cubes, plus lime slices for garnish.

Pro Tips for Witches Brew Punch Recipe
Make-ahead: Mix the pineapple juice and lime juice up to 24 hours ahead, cover, and refrigerate. Add the soda, sherbet, ice, and garnish just before serving, so the punch stays fizzy. Kid-friendly: The base is non-alcoholic, so it is safe for children. Keep the punch bowl where kids can reach it, and skip the adult bowl at family parties. Adult variation: Make a separate adult-only bowl. Add 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) vodka or 1 bottle (750 ml) chilled prosecco to the adult bowl only. Label it clearly as adults only.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers without ice for up to 2 days. The fizz will fade. Do not freeze. To revive, add a splash of fresh chilled soda. Keep it fizzy: Add soda last, stir only once, keep the bowl cold, and serve within 1 hour.
Witches Brew Punch Recipe Variations
Classic kid-friendly punch: Use the base recipe exactly as written. It is non-alcoholic, bright green, and fizzy. Less sweet version: Use diet lemon-lime soda, reduce the pineapple juice to 2 cups, and add 1 cup of chilled sparkling water. Keep the sherbet the same. Extra spooky version: Serve in a black bowl, add lime slices and gummy eyeballs or gummy worms on top. Do not use dry ice in drinks. Adult-only variation: Make a separate bowl and add 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) vodka or 1 bottle (750 ml) chilled prosecco. Label it clearly as adults only.
