Instructions

Make the punch: In a large punch bowl, combine the lemon-lime soda, apple juice, pineapple juice, lime juice, grenadine syrup, and granulated sugar. Stir well to mix the flavors.
Add green color: Add a few drops of green food coloring to the punch and stir until you achieve the desired toxic green color; it may take several drops to get a dark green and avoid brown hues.
Chill the punch: Add ice cubes to the punch bowl to keep it chilled, if desired.
Make the toxic waste foam: In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream on high speed using an electric mixer until it starts to thicken (about 2-3 minutes).
Add sugar and vanilla: Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
Color the foam: Carefully add a few drops of green food coloring to the whipped cream and gently swirl it in until there are swirls of white and green throughout.
Assemble the punch: Ladle the green punch into individual cups or glasses, leaving some space at the top for the foam.
Add toxic waste foam: Carefully spoon the toxic waste foam on top of each cup, creating a bubbling effect resembling toxic waste.
Add decorations (optional): If you want to make the punch even spookier, add gummy worms, gummy frogs, and gummy snakes to the punch bowl or individual cups.
Serve: Serve the Toxic Waste Punch to your Halloween party guests and watch them enjoy the spooky presentation and delicious flavor.

Notes

Use a flavored lemon-lime soda to complement the apple and pineapple juices for a balanced sweetness.
For a non-alcoholic party, this punch is perfect; for adults, you can optionally add a splash of rum or vodka.
If you want a more intense green color, add green food coloring gradually to avoid turning the punch brown.
Whip the cream with chilled bowls and beaters for best results in the foam.
Use fresh lime juice for the best tangy flavor instead of bottled lime juice.
The gummy decorations can be placed inside the punch bowl for a communal feel or individually for serving cups.
Prepare the foam just before serving to maintain its fluffy texture.
