• 2 cups orange juice preferably fresh or from concentrate

4. Carefully spoon or pipe the glowing red gel into the center of each glass just before serving, ensuring it stands out as a glowing orb when viewed through the drink.
5. Pour the chilled punch into glasses, allowing the vibrant red glow to shine through the bubbly liquid, and add extra ice if desired.
6. Garnish each glass with small pieces of black licorice or edible eyes for a spooky, eerie effect.
