  5. Drop in a few drops of dissolved black food coloring into the mixture to add a spooky, dark hue that swirls into the bright colors.
  6. Using a liquid dropper or pipette, carefully place small amounts of the fruit syrup along the edges of the punch bowl for additional color contrast and visual interest.

Notes

Adjust the amount of edible glitter for desired shimmer—less creates a subtle sparkle, more makes it more dramatic. Keep the punch chilled for the best fizzy effect, and add soda just before serving to preserve bubbles.
