This spooky punch is fun to make and even more fun to serve. The juicy mix of berries and fruit juices creates a flavorful base. Topped with fizzy ginger ale and creepy eyeballs, it’s a Halloween hit.
Drain the longan and reserve the juice. Set both aside.
Pour the blackberries into the bottom of a large pitcher. Macerate the blackberries using a long wooden spoon.
Add the blackberry preserves/jam and mix into the macerated berries.
Pour in the cherry juice, white grape juice, cranberry cocktail juice, and reserved longan juice, mix well.
Pour in the ginger ale and give a light stir.
To make the eyeballs, place one frozen blueberry inside of one longan.
Serve in the pitcher, in a punch bowl or in individual glasses, with the eyeballs.
Notes
Add eyeballs last: They look best when added right before serving. Use cold juice: Keep everything chilled so the punch stays fizzy. Stir gently: Mix just enough to blend without flattening the ginger ale. Serve in clear containers: A glass punch bowl shows off the spooky effect.
