# Steps to Follow:
01 -
If using decorations, glue craft googly eyes onto plastic spiders and affix each spider to the rim of glasses using a small amount of glue. Supervise children during this step to avoid choking hazards.
02 -
Refrigerate fruit punch, orange juice, pineapple juice, and ginger ale for several hours to ensure optimal fizz and refreshment.
03 -
In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine chilled fruit punch, orange juice, pineapple juice, and fresh lemon juice. Stir gently to blend flavors without diminishing carbonation.
04 -
Just before serving, add chilled ginger ale and a generous amount of ice cubes. Stir carefully to maintain carbonation and a bright, bubbly texture.
05 -
Pour punch into decorated glasses and garnish with plastic spiders on the rims. Monitor children to prevent ingestion of non-edible decorations.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Premix the juices and lemon juice up to one day in advance and refrigerate. Add ginger ale and ice only before serving to preserve carbonation.

Use a clear punch bowl to showcase the vibrant color and decorative spiders effectively.
03 -
Freeze gummy candies inside ice cubes for an added festive touch.
04 -
Pre-chill glasses to enhance the drinking experience.
