    Looking for a scary or fun punch to add to your Halloween party? Make this swamp punch and it's only 3 ingredients!

    The drink gets its name from its greenish color, which resembles the murky waters of a swamp. However, don't be fooled by its appearance - the taste is anything but murky. Swamp Punch is a sweet and tangy drink that is sure to satisfy your taste buds.

    Why You Will Like This Recipe

    Fun for Halloween parties! Made this for a party tonight. It's better to just put the limemade, food coloring, and sprite into a punch bowl first.

    When serving scoop out about a spoon full of lime sherbert to scoop on top to give it that swamp look.

    Candied eyeballs! If you can find eyeballs that will float on top of the drink too go for it. I had some gummy eyeballs and that just kind of sank to the bottom of the glass. A real fun drink to make for Halloween.

    Use dry ice for a spooky effect! All you need is a 1 liter bottle of lime soda, 1 limemade, green sherbert, and green food coloring. For a spooky effect you can get some dry ice like Ben did. It looked pretty cool sitting on our table.

    I was disappointed in the gummy worms I purchased from Wal-mart because they were big enough to hang on the side of the punch bowl. I didn't have any punch bowls so I used my trifle bowl instead. Is it funny that I haven't even used my trifle bowl to make a trifle yet? Nah.... it is good for some other uses as well.

    Ingredients List

    • Frozen Limeade, thawed
    • Lime Flavored soda such as Sprite or 7-Up or ginger ale
    • Lime sherbet ice cream, if you can't find the lime sherbet use the multi colored sherbet. Sometimes that is hard to find.
    • Optional Toppings Gummy worms, frozen strawberries, plastic spiders, plastic eyeballs, dry ice, green food coloring

    How to Make Swamp Punch

    Step 1: Mix limeade and soda in a punch bowl.

    Soda and LImemade in a bowl with ice.

    Step 2: Add lime sherbet by the spoonful. Garnish with gummy worms, plastic spiders and eyeballs, or frozen strawberries (witch hearts) as desired. Serve immediately.

    Tips for Swamp Punch

    Dry ice is also fun to put in something like this....

    It was fun listening to the bubbling sound it made. One of the pieces of ice made it out of the cauldron and flew across the dining room and almost hit someone. You have to be careful with it though.

    Here is everyone eating dinner in our decorated dining room area.

    We had steak, broccoli, and mashed potatoes with cajun shrimp. Everything was really good even though I wished after shocking the broccoli I had put it in the microwave to heat it up a bit. Eating cold broccoli is weird.

    Tips for Making Swamp Punch WW-Friendly:

    1. Use diet sprite or 7 up, or a sugar-free lemon-lime soda to reduce sugar and calories.
    2. Look for a light or sugar-free green sherbet alternative, or substitute with low-fat vanilla frozen yogurt for fewer calories.
    3. Reduce or Eliminate the Green Food Coloring: The food coloring doesn’t contribute any calories, so it’s optional for aesthetic purposes.
    4. Add some fresh fruit to the mix. Sliced strawberries, oranges, and kiwis are all great additions to Swamp Punch.
    5. Add a splash of grenadine for a sweeter and more colorful drink.
    6. Make it a cocktail by adding your favorite liquor, such as rum or vodka.
