Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh blueberries (to create the ‘eyeballs’)

1 cup lychee fruit (canned or freshly peeled and pitted)

1 cup pomegranate juice

3 cups lemon-lime soda or sparkling water

1 cup orange juice

1/2 cup fresh lime juice

1 cup pineapple juice

Ice cubes or spooky ice molds (optional)

Gummy eyeball candies for garnish (optional)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Eyeballs: Begin by taking each lychee fruit and carefully stuffing a fresh blueberry inside to create a spooky eyeball effect. Arrange the stuffed lychees on a plate and set aside until you are ready to add them to the punch. If you are using gummy eyeball candies, keep those handy for later!

    Make the Punch Base: In a large punch bowl, pour in the pomegranate juice, orange juice, and fresh lime juice. Use a ladle or whisk to stir thoroughly, ensuring all the juices are well combined for a balanced flavor.

      Add the Fizz: Gradually pour in the lemon-lime soda or sparkling water, allowing yourself to mix in the effervescence without losing too much of that delightful carbonation. Gently stir to incorporate the bubbles into the punch.

        Mix in the Pineapple Juice: Pour the pineapple juice into the punch bowl and give it a good stir. This addition will enhance both the color and the fruity profile of your punch, making it even more inviting.

          Add Eyeballs and Chill: Carefully drop the prepared lychee-blueberry eyeballs into the punch. If you have any spooky ice cubes or ice models, toss those in as well. Place the punch bowl in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes for the flavors to meld and the punch to chill.

            Serve: When ready to serve, garnish the punch with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and an aromatic touch. If you like, scatter some gummy eyeball candies on top for an extra creepy and festive appearance. Use clear glasses to highlight the floating ‘eyeballs’ in the punch.

              Enjoy the Spookiness: Invite your guests to help themselves, and savor the delicious, whimsical, and slightly spooky flavors in this Halloween-themed punch!
