Tips on Making Swamp Water
You can make this swamp water punch recipe as simple or as crazy spooky as you like. Know how to tweak them with these quick tips:
- If you want a healthier low-calorie option, switch lemon-lime soda to sugarless carbonated water and store-bought juices to freshly squeezed ones. Don’t forget to make some matching sugar free gummies for decoration as well!
- Serve them in a punch bowl, large pitcher, mason jars, or shot glasses if you prefer individual servings.
- While we went for gummy worms, you can use any gummy candy like gummy bears, gummy crocodiles, gummy eyeballs. The more colors on the swamp water cocktail, the more fun!
- For a bone-chilling punch recipe, throw in frozen fruits like strawberries, maraschino cherries, or pomegranate seeds to add surprise texture and taste.
