Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (46-ounce) can pineapple juice (chilled)
- 2 liters orange soda (chilled)
- 1 cup candy corn (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut cream (chilled, optional for layered effect)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (if using heavy cream)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Chill all ingredients (pineapple juice, orange soda, and heavy cream if using) for at least 2 hours before serving.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup cold heavy cream with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk for about 30 seconds until slightly thickened but still pourable. Set aside in the fridge.
- Pour the chilled pineapple juice into a large pitcher or punch bowl to form the bottom yellow layer. Optionally add a handful of candy corn to the juice.
- Very slowly, pour the chilled orange soda down the side of the pitcher to create a distinct orange layer on top of the pineapple juice.
- Pour the thickened cream (or coconut cream) over the back of a spoon held just above the surface of the punch to create a white layer on top.
- Scatter a handful of candy corn on top for garnish. Add ice cubes (preferably pineapple juice ice cubes) and serve immediately. Use a ladle to scoop from the bottom so each cup gets all three layers.
Notes
Assemble punch no more than 30 minutes before serving to maintain layers. Use chilled ingredients for best layering. For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream instead of heavy cream. For an adult version, add 1 cup of vanilla vodka or whipped cream vodka to the pineapple juice layer.
