Putrid Punch (Halloween Recipe)
This sick colored punch looks disgusting but tastes great.

- 1 cup sugar
- 8 cups water
- 1 can frozen orange juice concentrate
- 4 cups ginger ale
- worm cubes (ice cubes with gummy worms frozen inside)
- 3 scoops orange sherbet
Directions
Empty koolaid into a punch bowl. Add sugar then water and stir until dissolved. Add orange juice concentrate. Just before serving, add the ginger ale and worm cubes and float the scoops of orange sherbet on top. Before long, the punch will be green and infested with worms. For extra effects hang a few gummy worms on the sides of your glass.
