Description
Swamp juice is a fabulous Halloween drink that will delight your little ghosts and goblins!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup small tapioca pearls (found near the instant pudding at most grocery stores)
- Food coloring (optional)
- Beverage of choice (kool aid, lemonade, sprite, etc)
- Gummy fish (Swedish Fish, JuJu Fish work great)
- Gummy worms
- Dry Ice
Instructions
- To make the eggs, bring 6 cups of water to a boil and add the tapioca pearls. Reduce the heat slightly and boil the pearls, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes.
- If desired, color the eggs by dividing the eggs into separate bowls (with their cooking water) and adding 4 drops of food coloring to each bowl. Green, blue, and yellow are all great colors. Stir the mixtures and allow to sit for 20 to 25 minutes to soak in the coloring. Then drain and rinse with cold water.
- To assemble the swamp juice in a punch bowl, deposit the “egg” pearls to the bottom of the punch bowl. Cover with beverage of choice and drop in the gummy fish and worms. Add dry ice for effect.
- To assemble individual glasses, spoon ~2 tablespoons of “egg” pearls into each glass. Fill the glass with beverage of choice. Drop in 1-2 gummy fish and/or worms. Top with one worm coming out of drink. Break the dry ice into nickel sized pieces and drop one into each glass just before serving. (Remember to warn your guests to wait until the swamp juice quits bubbling before they drink it).
