Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups mixed berry juice preferably chilled
  • 1 cup orange juice preferably freshly squeezed

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed for bright flavor
  • optional fresh berries or fruit slices for garnish and added visual appeal

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Pour the chilled berry juice into a large mixing bowl, creating a vivid, deep red base for the punch.
  2. Add the orange juice to the berry mixture, merging the two for a slightly lighter and more layered hue.
  3. Stir in the simple syrup thoroughly until it dissolves completely, giving the punch a balanced sweetness and a slight shine.
  4. Add the lemon juice for a tart contrast, stirring gently to combine all flavors evenly.
  5. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill the punch for at least 10 minutes to enhance the flavors and keep it cold.
  6. Once chilled, stir the punch gently to recombine any settled ingredients and prepare for serving.
  7. Pour the punch into glasses or a decorative punch bowl, garnishing with fresh berries or fruit slices for a festive, spooky look.
  8. Optionally, add ice cubes, fruit slices, or dry ice for an eerie, smoky effect to enhance the haunted vibe.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant, spooky drink with friends or family during your Halloween celebration.
