This is a great-looking and great-tasting punch that everyone at your Halloween party is sure to love. A little green food dye adds vibrant color to this punch, while kiwi juice, lime juice, and lime and orange sherbet provide an amazing array of flavor.
Part of what makes this recipe so cool is its use of surgical gloves to add to the Halloween theme. The process for getting these gloves to work correctly in the punch is a bit difficult and time-consuming, so make sure you take that into account when making your Halloween plans.
Don't let that intimidate you, however! As long as you take your time and follow the steps we've laid out for you, your swamp punch will turn out fantastic. Have your kids give you a hand if you need an extra pair or two of hands in the kitchen. They'll love being included, and it will make your job a whole lot easier!
