How to serve Spooky Witch’s Potion Punch
Serve this punch in clear cups to showcase its vibrant green color and the spooky garnishes. Add a few gummy worms or a plastic spider to each cup for a fun touch. It’s great for parties where guests can help themselves or make a big splash as the centerpiece of your drink table.
How to store Spooky Witch’s Potion Punch
If you have any leftovers, store the punch in a large, sealed container in the fridge. Keep in mind that the carbonation from the soda will slowly go flat, so it’s best enjoyed fresh. If using dry ice, prepare only as much punch as you need for the party.
