Ingredients
Scale
- 64 ounces (1 gallon) Concord Grape Juice (100% juice, not from concentrate)
- 2 liters (64 ounces) Lemon-Lime Soda (e.g., Sprite or 7Up)

- 1/4 cup Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1–2 drops Green Food Coloring (liquid gel)

- Optional: Lime slices for garnish
Instructions
- Chill the grape juice, lemon-lime soda, and ginger ale in the refrigerator until cold.
- Pour the 64 ounces of grape juice into a large punch bowl.
- Squeeze in the 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice and stir gently to combine.
- Add 1-2 drops of green food coloring, stirring after each drop until a vibrant eerie green is achieved.
- Slowly pour in the lemon-lime soda and ginger ale to preserve carbonation.

- Add ice cubes to keep the punch cold.

Notes
For best results, make the base (grape juice, lemon juice, and coloring) up to 24 hours in advance. Add the soda and ice just before serving to maintain carbonation. Avoid stirring too vigorously to prevent losing the fizz. If serving at a party, consider using a beverage dispenser for easier serving.
