Plastic spiders (optional, for decoration)

Craft googly eyes (optional, to glue on spiders)
# Preparation Steps:

Glue googly eyes onto plastic spiders and let dry. Affix each spider to the rim of a glass using a small dab of glue. Ensure spiders are not too small to avoid choking hazards.

In a large pitcher or punch bowl, gently stir together fruit punch, orange juice, pineapple juice, and fresh lemon juice without over-mixing to preserve flavor clarity.

Just prior to serving, fold in chilled ginger ale and add a generous amount of ice cubes to maintain carbonation and chill the punch.

Pour the punch into decorated glasses. Place a plastic spider on each rim for a spooky garnish. Supervise children to prevent ingestion of decorations.

01 -
For best carbonation, add ginger ale and ice last. Pre-chilling glasses enhances the drinking experience.

Substitute ginger ale with lemon-lime soda or pineapple juice with mango juice for flavor variations.
03 -
Use a clear punch bowl to showcase the vibrant color and layered ice for visual effect.

Prepare juice mixture up to one day ahead; add carbonation and ice at serving time to preserve fizz.
