Swamp Water Punch

I wanted the drink to be green so I used limeade as a base. The pineapple juice adds sweetness, but it does yellow the drink, so I only added a little. You could also add a little green food coloring, to make it more green as well. Some people like to use orange juice and make it an orange juice punch, including the orange juice pulp for more of the swampy effect. We liked the taste of the pineapple juice better, but orange juice is an option if you prefer.

We made our punch in individual glasses for our party, which worked great, and helped them stay fizzy. You could also make a large punch bowl of the swamp water punch instead, and guests could help themselves, or make it in a large pitcher.

You can also add ice cubes and even gummy worms to everyone’s glass as a swampy garnish.

Using Dry Ice

For a punch bowl you might even want to add some dry ice for a foggy effect. This would be especially fun for a Halloween party. To create this effect you will want to use two plastic punch bowls, one smaller than the other. Put the swamp water punch in the smaller bowl with a ladle for guests to help themselves. The small bowl will sit inside of the larger bowl. In the larger bowl add your dry ice. This will prevent your guests from accidently having any dry ice in their swamp juice glass. Be sure to use a clean rubber glove to handle the ice as it can harm your skin if in direct contact. To activate the ice for the party, just pour a little warm water on top.
