Instructions

Combine Base Juices and Alcohol: In a large punch bowl, pour 3 cups cranberry juice, 3 cups strawberry soda, 2 cups rum chata, and 2 cups pineapple juice. Stir gently to mix the flavors well.
Add Citrus Sherbets: Add 2 quarts of lime sherbet to the mixture. The sherbet will start to melt and add a creamy, tangy texture to the punch.
Add Carbonated Sodas: Slowly pour in 2 liters of Sprite, 2 liters of lemon lime soda, and 2 liters of orange soda. Stir carefully to maintain the fizziness while blending the flavors.
Incorporate Ice and Food Coloring: Add ice cubes to chill the punch further. Use red and green food coloring gels sparingly to achieve a festive Halloween-hued punch. Blend colors until desired shades are reached.
Final Touches and Garnish: Top the punch with 8-12 scoops of orange sherbet for extra creaminess. Garnish the punch bowl with gummy worms hanging on the sides and submerged in the punch for a spooky presentation. Serve chilled with ladle and glasses.

Notes

Adjust the amount of rum chata based on whether you want the punch alcoholic or non-alcoholic; omit or reduce for a kid-friendly version.
Use fresh sherbet and chilled sodas to keep the punch cold without diluting the flavors with too much ice.
Food coloring gels should be added cautiously since a little goes a long way and they concentrate color without affecting flavor.
Gummy worms can be replaced by other Halloween-themed candy or fruit for garnish.
This punch is best served immediately but can be prepared slightly in advance and kept chilled to maintain freshness.
