Easy 4-ingredient Halloween Party Punch
This Goosebumps-inspired Halloween Punch is bound to be an instant hit at your Halloween party, plus it’s super easy to make!
Let me tell ya something: I’m so excited about the new Goosebumps series! As a kid, I read ALL of the Goosebumps books and rewatched the TV adaptations like The Werewolf of Fever Swamp over and over again! Did anyone else out there have a slight Goosebumps addiction as a kid?
This was a huge hit with some family recently, even though they were skeptical. Was one of the first drinks gone (even before the alcohol!). We added some plastic eyeballs as well. ☺ – Leann

I mean, this Halloween punch totally screams Goosebumps, right? The best part is that it’s super easy to make and pretty tasty too! It’s a great kid-friendly addition to any Halloween or premiere party; the kids could even help you make it!
Easy Halloween Punch Ingredients
- Lemon-lime soda
- Green Food Coloring
- Rainbow Sherbet
- Gummy Worms
How To Make Halloween Punch
This has to be one of the easiest Halloween Punch Recipes out there! It’s a classic Sherbert Punch with a fun Halloween twist!
- Mix together some lemon-lime soda (or ginger ale) and green food coloring in a large punch bowl.
- Then add in some rainbow sherbet (or lime sherbet) and some gummy worms.
- Ladle into glasses and garnish, and you’ve got a super fun punch!
Serving a group of 50 guests?
If you are following this recipe, you’ll need 4 batches for 48 people and 5 batches if you need to have over 50 servings.
Can You Make A Party Punch The Day Before?
No. This recipe is primarily soda and sherbet, which will not hold up if made ahead of time. This recipe should be made right before your party begins so the punch keeps its delightful fizz! When freshly mixed, the ginger ale produces plenty of bubbles, much like those found in a classic root beer float. As with most sodas, the punch will slowly lose some of its effervescence if it sits out for several hours, but it starts off frothy and fun.
Ways To Serve This Spooky Punch
Add a colored sugar syrup rim for an extra spooky look! Simply mix 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with a teaspoon or two of water and food coloring until smooth and not too runny.
Pipe along the edge of the glasses and place in the fridge for a few minutes to set before adding punch.
Serve it with gummy worms, eyeball pong balls, or fun straws and cups!
Fun Halloween Treats To Serve With This Green Punch Recipe
If you’re making this for a gathering, don’t forget to serve it up alongside some deliciously spooky treats like these Halloween Dirt Cups, Monster Cookies, and Magic Bars!

Green Halloween Punch Variations
If you’re looking to mix up the flavor a bit, feel free to add a couple of cups of pineapple or orange juice and even some lemonade concentrate!
Most of the ingredients in this punch are pretty standard, and you can find them at just about any grocery store. Here are a few fun ways to switch up your spooky punch:
- Soda Base: Stick with lemon-lime soda for a classic taste, or swap in ginger ale for a slightly different fizz.
- Juice Boost: Add pineapple juice for a tropical twist, or toss in a splash of lemon juice (fresh-squeezed is best!) if you want to balance the sweetness a bit.
- Sherbet Swap: Lime sherbet gives you that signature green color, but you can totally use orange or rainbow sherbet. If you want to keep things extra witchy and green, just add a couple drops of green food coloring.
- Flavor Fun: I also love adding Kool-Aid powder mixes for even more fun flavor ideas like green apple or green berry rush.
Whether you’re going for ghoulish green or experimenting with other flavors, this punch is super easy to customize for your crowd!
How To Make a Boozy Version for Your Monster Mash
Looking to give your punch a grown-up twist for an adults-only fright fest? It’s super easy to transform this kid-friendly treat into a spooktacular party punch your friends will love!
Just add 1 to 2 cups of your favorite vodka or white rum directly to the punch bowl as you mix everything together. Mix well, taste, and adjust with a splash more spirit if needed. Don’t be afraid to get creative—experiment with other liquors like Midori for an extra-green look, or even pineapple rum for tropical vibes.
And of course, please remind your guests this version is strictly for grown-up ghouls and goblins!

I am a caterer and I did a Halloween event on 10-30-21, The party was at a private residence. We set up a kid’s bar and this drink was a hit! The kids LOVED it!
I’m so glad it was a hit, thanks for leaving a comment!
This was a huge hit with some family recently even though they were skeptical. Was one of the first drinks gone (even before the alcohol!). We added some plastic eye balls as well. ☺
How long before serving do you need to put the sherbet???
Just a few minutes.
Very cute
My grandmother always made me a sherbert punch for my parties when I was little. I loved it. No gummies in mine but still fun!
Going to try this on the new year party for my kids!! Thanks a lot.
Made ma Halloween, Thanks ya!
I am going to try this recipe tomorrow, going to get the rainbow sherbet, my favorite one 🙂
Enjoy!
How long can I leave this out for ?
Hi Sally, it will be good for several hours. It will lose some fizz and the sherbert will melt over time, but you can always add more to freshen it up!
Hey, sorry as as n aussie what would the equivalent be to a sherbert here is that just as sorbet icecream?
Ta
Hi Milly, A sorbet should work okay, sherbert has milk in it which makes it a little creamier than sorbet, I’m not sure if the sorbet will foam up like the sherbert, but it will still be a fun way to add flavor.
Thanks for sharing the recipe, I really like and would love to try it ..
I bought the ingredients to make on Tuesday for Halloween night with my family. We are all grown with our own kids now but as kids we loved the Goosebumps series. The Haunted Mask was my favorite! My 3 year old loves the movie!
