Ingredients
  

1 cup lime sherbet

2 liters lemon-lime soda

1 cup cranberry juice

1 cup pineapple juice

1 cup water

1 cup mini marshmallows

1 cup blueberries

Red food coloring (optional, for a bloody effect)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Eyeballs: In a small mixing bowl, combine the mini marshmallows and blueberries. Each blueberry should be nestled inside a marshmallow to create a spooky eyeball effect. Arrange them on a plate and set aside.

    Make the Juice Base: In a large punch bowl, pour in the cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and water. Use a stirring spoon to mix the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring they are well combined.

      Add Some Fizz: Carefully pour the lemon-lime soda into the punch bowl with the juice mixture. Do this slowly to allow the mixture to fizz without losing too much carbonation, keeping it lively and refreshing.

        Introduce the Sherbet: Scoop generous dollops of lime sherbet into the punch bowl. As it begins to melt, the vibrant green color will swirl into the liquid, giving a ghostly, bubbling appearance.

          Garnish with Eyeballs: Gently release the marshmallow and blueberry eyeballs into the punch, letting them float ominously on the surface. For an extra spooky touch, drizzle a few drops of red food coloring around the rim of the serving cups or directly into the punch for a 'bloody' effect.

            Serve and Enjoy: Using a ladle, pour the punch into spooky-themed cups or clear glasses to prominently showcase the floating eyeballs. Finish by garnishing each glass with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and additional flavor. Serve immediately to delight your guests with this festive and refreshing Halloween punch!
