Every Halloween party needs one drink that does the work of a decoration. This is it: three ingredients, a foaming green surface, and a curl of fog drifting over the rim of the bowl. Children ask for it before they've tasted it.

Instructions
- In a large cauldron or punch bowl, scoop the lime sherbet into the bottom.
- Pour the pineapple juice over the sherbet and stir gently until partially melted.
- Slowly add the lemon-lime soda and watch it foam.
- Float gummy worms on top and serve in clear cups so the bubbles show. The punch is ready to drink at this point — everything in the bowl is food.
- For fog, and only if adults are supervising: handle dry ice with tongs or thick gloves, and set one small block on the outer edge of the bowl, away from the ladle. Never put dry ice in a cup, never let anyone touch or swallow it, and wait until it has fully vanished before serving from the very bottom of the bowl.
Why it works & making it ahead
Yes, you drink this one — it is soda, juice and sherbet, so it is entirely non-alcoholic and fine for children. The sherbet is what makes the foam, so scoop it in first and pour the soda over it last; stirring too early flattens the whole effect. Mix the juice and sherbet up to an hour ahead and keep it cold, then add the soda the moment guests arrive. The dry ice is purely for the fog: one small block at the outer edge of the bowl, handled with gloves or tongs, never dropped into a cup, never swallowed, and never left within a child's reach. If you would rather skip it, the punch looks nearly as good without it.
The punch is a plain non-alcoholic soda, juice and sherbet drink — safe for children. Dry ice is decoration, not an ingredient.
