Eyeball Floating Fruit Punch
Ingredients
- For the “Eyeballs”
- 1 can lychees (canned in syrup, drained)
- 1 pint blueberries or black grapes (seedless)
- Optional: a little red food coloring or strawberry jam (for “bloodshot” effect)
- For the Punch
- 4 cups cranberry juice (chilled)
- 4 cups pineapple juice (chilled)
- 3 cups ginger ale or lemon-lime soda (chilled, for fizz)
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- Ice cubes, as needed
- Optional (Adult Version)
- 2–3 cups vodka, rum, or sparkling wine
Instructions
- Step 1: Make the Eyeballs: Take drained lychees and gently stuff each one with a blueberry or grape. For extra spookiness, add a drop of red food coloring or jam inside the lychee before inserting the berry (to mimic bloodshot veins). Place them on a tray and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Step 2: Prepare the Punch: In a large punch bowl, combine cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and lime juice. Stir well and refrigerate until chilled.
- Step 3: Add the Fizz: Just before serving, pour in the ginger ale or lemon-lime soda. Stir gently to combine.
- Step 4: Assemble: Add ice cubes to the punch bowl. Drop the prepared “eyeballs” into the punch so they float creepily on top.
