Green Slime Punch (Lime Sherbet + Sprite) – fun Halloween punch for kids

Okay, let’s be real—there’s nothing quite like the excitement of a Halloween party where the punch looks as spooky as it tastes fun! This Green Slime Punch is basically a bubble of bright green lime sherbet fizzing with Sprite, making it both delightfully sweet and perfectly eerie. I love how the sherbet melts into that fizzy sparkle, creating this creamy, tangy, and downright magical drink that kids (and let’s face it, adults too) can’t stop sipping on. Plus, it’s so easy to make, even a kitchen novice can master it in minutes. If you’re looking to add a little ooze and sparkle to your Halloween festivities, this punch is about to become your secret weapon!

Ingredients

For the Main Dish:

• 1 quart lime sherbet (about 4 cups)
• 2 liters Sprite (chilled)
• 1 cup pineapple juice (optional, for extra tropical zing)
• Green food coloring (optional for a more vibrant slime effect)
• Gummy worms or candy eyeballs for garnish (optional but fun!)

How I Make It

Step 1:

Start by scooping the lime sherbet into a large punch bowl or a clear pitcher. The frosty texture of the sherbet makes a perfect, creamy base to build on, so don’t skip this step!

Step 2:

Slowly pour in the Sprite over the sherbet. You’ll get an instant fizzy reaction—think bubbling green slime rising—so pour gently to avoid overflows.

Step 3:

If you want, add the pineapple juice now for a sunny tropical twist. This brightens up the flavor and adds a little extra zing. Stir lightly so the fizz stays.

Step 4:

For an extra pop of color, drop in a few drops of green food coloring. Just a little goes a long way! Stir gently for an even slime shade but don’t lose the bubbles.

Step 5:

Chill the punch in the fridge if you can, but it’s best served as soon as it’s mixed to keep the fizz alive.

Step 6:

Before serving, toss in some fun gummy worms or candy eyeballs to float on top. It’s like a slime party in a bowl—totally Halloween-approved and kid-approved, too!

Variations & Tips

• Swap out Sprite for any lemon-lime soda like 7-Up or Sierra Mist for a slightly different sweetness.
• Try adding a splash of lime juice for extra tartness if you like that tangy zing.
• Use orange sherbet instead of lime for a Halloween twist with orange “slime.”
• Serve in a glass punch bowl with dry ice cubes for spooky smoke effects—but keep dry ice away from kids directly.
• Make individual servings with the sherbet and soda in clear cups for easier party distribution.

How I Like to Serve It

This punch is perfect for Halloween parties, but also works wonderfully for any kids’ birthday bash or summer get-together. I love chilling it until it’s just cold enough to be refreshing but not flat, then ladling it into clear cups so the floating gummy worms can be the star of the show. And hey, if adults want to spike their own version with a splash of vodka after the kids go home, who’s counting?

Notes

• Best served immediately after mixing to keep the bubbles lively and sherbet texture fresh.
• Leftovers can separate if refrigerated too long; just stir gently to recombine, or add a little more soda before serving.

Closing: This Green Slime Punch is a simple, fun, and totally foolproof way to bring a little joyfully gooey magic to any kid-friendly party.
