- Pour the fruit juice or punch into a large mixing bowl, creating a bright, colorful base.
- Add sliced fruit and gummy worms directly into the juice, distributing them evenly to create spooky surprises and floating colors.
- Gently stir the mixture to combine the ingredients and help the gummy worms settle for a fun, gory effect.
- Slowly pour in the carbonated soda to activate the bubbles and create a fizzy, bubbling effect, watching as the liquid swirls and froths.
- Add a handful of ice cubes to chill the punch and increase the fizz, enhancing its spooky appearance and refreshing feel.
- Use a ladle to carefully transfer the bubbling punch into glasses, ensuring each gets a generous scoop of fruit, a gummy worm, and some of the fizzy liquid.
- Garnish each glass with additional candies or fruit for extra spooky flair, then serve immediately to enjoy the effervescent, colorful spectacle.
