Lychee "Eyeball" Punch

This spooky punch will be a hit at your next Halloween party (or even Friday the 13th movie night)!  Feel free to substitute sparkling/seltzer/soda water for vodka for a version everyone can enjoy.  I like to mix the fruit juices, sugar, and vodka together in advance and finish off with ginger ale right before serving; I also advise making the eyeballs in advance before a party so those are out of the way.

Lychee “Eyeball” Punch

Ingredients

• 2 20 oz. cans peeled & pitted lychees, drained
• 1 pint fresh blueberries
• 1 64 oz. bottle 100% cranberry juice
• 1/2 cup caster sugar
• 4 cups orange juice
• 2 cups pomegranate juice
• 3 cups spicy ginger ale
• 3 cups vodka

Serves 16 - 18

Push blueberries into lychees to create "eyeballs"; refrigerate in air-tight container.
Combine remaining ingredients and refrigerate so flavors meld.  Add "eyeballs" to punch just before serving.  If you are serving in a dispenser, add a few "eyeballs", but keep some out for garnish.  In a punch bowl, you can put all "eyeballs" in.
