Ingredients
- 2 cups blueberry vodka
- 1 cup blue curaçao
- 1/2 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 cups cranberry juice
- 1/2 cup lemon-lime soda (for fizz)
- 1/2 cup sparkling water (optional, for extra fizz)
- Blueberry ice cubes or frozen blueberries (for garnish)
- Fake eyeballs or peeled lychee with blueberry (for garnish)
- Fresh blueberries (for garnish)
- Ice cubes
Directions
- Prepare the Punch Base: In a large punch bowl, combine blueberry vodka, blue curaçao, lime juice, cranberry juice, and lemon-lime soda. Stir well to mix all the ingredients.
- Add the Fizz: For an extra touch of sparkle, add sparkling water if you want a bit more fizz to your punch.
- Chill with Ice: Add a generous amount of ice cubes to the punch to chill it down. You can also prepare blueberry ice cubes by freezing fresh blueberries in ice cube trays ahead of time for a fun, decorative effect.
- Eyeball Garnish: For the “eyeball” effect, use fake eyeballs (available at many Halloween stores) or make your own by stuffing peeled lychee fruits with blueberries, which resemble eyeballs. Add them to the punch for an extra creepy look.
- Serve: Ladle the punch into individual glasses, making sure to get a few “eyeballs” into each glass for that spooky effect. Top with fresh blueberries for garnish.
Time and Servings

Variations
- Non-Alcoholic Version: For a kid-friendly or non-alcoholic version, replace the blueberry vodka with blueberry juice or a mix of sparkling water and lemonade. Add extra frozen blueberries to chill.

FAQs
Can I make this punch ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the punch base in advance (without ice and eyeball garnishes), and refrigerate it until you’re ready to serve. Add ice and garnishes right before serving.
What can I use if I don’t have fake eyeballs?
You can make your own creepy eyeballs by stuffing peeled lychee fruits with blueberries or using peeled grapes for a less gruesome alternative.
Can I use a different type of juice for the punch?
Absolutely! You can replace the cranberry juice with grape juice or pomegranate juice if you prefer.
