How to Make Gummy Galaxy Punch:

Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s dive into the steps for making this delightful Gummy Galaxy Punch. It’s as easy as pie, and I promise you’ll feel like a cosmic mixologist!

Step 1: Prep Your Gummy Garnishes

Place your gummy candies in a bowl and freeze them for 30–60 minutes. This helps them stay firmer longer in the punch and gives them a fun chewy texture. You can also freeze gummy worms inside ice cubes for a fun surprise.

Step 2: Mix the Juices

In a large punch bowl or beverage dispenser, combine the grape juice, pineapple juice, and blue raspberry drink. Stir well to create a vibrant purple-blue hue reminiscent of a swirling galaxy.

Step 3: Add the Lemon-Lime Soda

Just before serving, slowly pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda. Stir gently to combine—this is where the fizz really brings the drink to life. The bubbles create a sparkling “nebula” effect.

Step 4: Enhance the Color (Optional)

If you want your punch to have a more intense galactic look, add a few drops of food coloring. A swirl of purple or electric blue can give it that cosmic pop.

Step 5: Sprinkle in the Edible Glitter

Add a pinch or two of edible glitter or shimmer dust. As it mixes into the liquid, it creates the illusion of stars and stardust floating through your drink.

Step 6: Toss in the Gummy Goodies

Add the frozen gummy candies to the punch. They’ll float, sink, and bob in the bubbles like little comets and planets. You can also add blueberries or blackberries to mimic celestial bodies.

Step 7: Serve Over Ice

Ladle or pour the punch over ice cubes in clear glasses. For extra flair, use star-shaped frozen juice cubes or glowing ice cubes (LED safe-for-beverage type).

Tips for Success:

• Chill everything first so the punch stays cold longer without getting watered down quickly.

• Don’t add soda until serving time to preserve maximum fizz.

• Use clear cups or a glass dispenser to show off the colors and gummies.

• Freeze fruit juice into ice cubes for extra color and no dilution.

• Make a spiked version in a separate pitcher for adult guests.

Equipment Needed:

• Large punch bowl or beverage dispenser

• Ladle or spout

• Measuring cups

• Clear serving cups

• Ice cube trays (regular or shaped)

• Freezer-safe bowls for prepping gummies and fruit
