Print Recipe

A quick and easy Halloween punch made with green apple juice, lime, and sparkling water, naturally sweetened and perfect for parties. This light, refreshing drink comes together in just 5 minutes and is a crowd-pleaser for kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups unsweetened green apple juice
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 cups plain or lime-flavored sparkling water
  • 2 tablespoons stevia or monk fruit sweetener (or to taste)
  • A handful of fresh mint leaves
  • Green apple slices for garnish
  • Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chill the green apple juice and sparkling water in the fridge for about an hour before starting.
  2. Roll limes on the counter, cut in half, and squeeze to get 1/4 cup of juice. Strain out seeds.
  3. Wash and dry mint leaves. Slice green apple into thin rounds (about 1/8-inch thick) and toss with a little lime juice to prevent browning.
  4. In a large pitcher, combine 4 cups green apple juice, 1/4 cup lime juice, and 2 tablespoons sweetener. Stir until sweetener dissolves. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness as desired.
  5. Just before serving, gently pour in 2 cups sparkling water and stir slowly to preserve bubbles.
  6. Add ice cubes if serving immediately. Float green apple slices and mint leaves on top.
  7. Pour into glasses filled with ice if desired. For extra spooky points, add frozen gummy worms or plastic spider rings to the punch bowl.

Notes

For best results, add sparkling water just before serving to keep the fizz. If making ahead, mix juice, lime, and sweetener up to 24 hours in advance, then add sparkling water and garnishes right before serving. For a frozen slushie version, freeze some green apple juice in ice cube trays and use instead of regular ice. For an adult version, add 1 cup vodka or white rum.
