How to Make Northern Lights Glow Punch

Step 1: Mix the Juices

In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the blueberry juice, pineapple juice, and white cranberry juice. Stir well to blend the flavors.

Step 2: Add the Fizz

Slowly pour in the lemon-lime soda (or club soda) and give it a gentle stir to maintain the bubbles.

Step 3: Add the Magic ✨

Sprinkle in a small amount of edible glitter—a little goes a long way! Stir gently to create a swirling, shimmering effect that mimics the Northern Lights. The glitter will catch the light beautifully as it dances through the liquid.

Step 4: Serve

Pour the punch into glasses filled with ice if desired. Garnish with fresh fruit, mint leaves, or extra glitter for an extra touch of magic.

Tips for the Best Glow Punch

Use Clear Glassware: To fully showcase the sparkling effect.
Chill Ingredients First: This keeps the punch cold without diluting it with ice.
Adjust the Sweetness: Use club soda for a less sweet version, or add more lemon-lime soda for extra fizz and sweetness.
Stir Before Serving: The glitter tends to settle, so give it a gentle stir to revive the shimmer.

What to Serve with Northern Lights Glow Punch

Fruit Skewers: Complement the punch’s fruity flavors.
Light Appetizers: Like cheese platters, finger sandwiches, or charcuterie boards.
Sweet Treats: Cupcakes with galaxy frosting or sparkling sugar cookies for a themed party.
Brunch Favorites: It pairs beautifully with breakfast pastries, muffins, or scones.

How to Make It a Glow-in-the-Dark Punch 🌟

Hosting a party with black lights? Add tonic water (contains quinine, which glows under UV light) to replace some of the club soda. This will give your punch a cool, glowing effect in the dark!

Storage Instructions

Refrigerate: Store any leftover punch in the fridge for up to 2 days. Stir before serving to redistribute the glitter.
Make Ahead: Mix the juices ahead of time and add the soda and glitter just before serving to keep it fresh and fizzy.
