Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups green fruit punch
- 4 cups lemon-lime soda
- 2 cups pineapple juice
- 2 cups lime sherbet
- 6 cups water
- 5 drops green food coloring (optional)
- 1 rubber glove (food-safe)
Instructions
Step 1: Create the Frozen Hand. Fill a clean, food-safe rubber glove with water and secure the opening with a tight knot or rubber band. Place it on a baking sheet to ensure it retains its shape, then freeze overnight or until solid.
Step 2: Make the Punch Base. In a large punch bowl, combine the green fruit punch, lemon-lime soda, and pineapple juice. Stir well to mix.
Step 3: Add Lime Sherbet. Gently scoop lime sherbet into the punch mixture. Stir to let it dissolve slightly for a creamy texture.
Step 4: Adjust Color (Optional). Add green food coloring, drop by drop, to deepen the swampy green hue. Stir after each addition until the desired color is achieved.
Step 5: Add the Frightful Hand. Once frozen solid, carefully cut away the rubber glove from the ice hand using scissors. Rinse the ice hand briefly under warm water to loosen the glove, if needed. Place the ice hand gently into the punch bowl.
Step 6: Serve. Ladle the punch into cups, making sure each guest gets some of the sherbet foam. Enjoy the creepy, delicious fun!
