-
1 cup of water
-
1/2 cup of fresh lime juice
-
1 cup of gummy worms
-
Ice cubes
Directions
-
In a large pitcher or spooky cauldron, I combine the grape juice, pineapple juice, and water.
-
I stir in the fresh lime juice to add a zingy bite.
-
Then I gently pour in the lemon-lime soda to keep it nice and fizzy.

I toss in a generous amount of ice cubes to chill it all down.

Servings and timing
This recipe makes about 10 servings and takes just 15 minutes to prepare. It’s ideal for parties, whether I’m hosting a big group or a small gathering.
Variations
-
Add a smoky twist by using dry ice for a bubbling effect—just make sure it’s fully dissipated before drinking.
-
For an adult version, I sometimes add vodka or rum to give it a wicked kick.
-
Change up the juice by substituting cranberry or pomegranate for a deeper red tone.
-
Use Halloween-shaped gummies instead of worms for more themed fun.
-
Make it slushy by blending with crushed ice or partially freezing the juice mix beforehand.
Storage/Reheating
If I’m making this ahead, I mix everything except the soda and ice. I store it covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours, then add the soda and ice just before serving to keep it bubbly and cold. Leftovers (without ice) can be stored for another day or two, though the fizz may fade.

What can I use instead of gummy worms?

Yes, I often scale it up easily by doubling or tripling the quantities—it works perfectly in a large punch bowl or cauldron.
