An eerie eyeball punch that will surprise your guests with each sip.
Ingredients
- 3 cups blackberries
- 18 canned lychees (from one 20-ounce can), plus 3/4 cup syrup from the can
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups sweetened acai juice
- 1 cup blueberry juice cocktail
- 18 large blueberries
- 3 cups lemon-lime soda
- 1 cup spiced rum or gin (optional)
Directions
- Puree the blackberries, lychee syrup and lemon juice in a blender. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing on the solids with a rubber spatula. Add the acai juice and blueberry juice. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours.
- Gently push a blueberry into the cavity of each lychee. Transfer the punch to a punch bowl or pitcher and add the stuffed lychees, then gently stir in the lemon-lime soda and rum, if using. Serve over ice.
