This Kid-Approved Purple Ube Witches’ Cauldron Punch is a creamy, subtly sweet, and fizzy drink made with ube extract and coconut milk. It’s the perfect Halloween party drink or magical birthday treat that comes together in under 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons ube extract (preferably Butterfly brand)
  • 2 tablespoons ube halaya (ube jam, optional but recommended)
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk (such as Chaokoh or Aroy-D), shaken well
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 to 3 cups cold lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite or 7UP)
  • 4 to 6 cups ice
  • Optional garnishes: edible glitter, gummy worms, plastic spiders, dry ice (adult supervision only), fresh mint leaves, lime slices

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1 to 2 teaspoons ube extract and 2 tablespoons ube halaya (if using). Add about 2 tablespoons of the canned coconut milk and whisk until smooth and uniformly purple.
  2. In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the remaining coconut milk (about 1.5 cups), 1 can sweetened condensed milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  3. Pour the ube mixture into the pitcher with the creamy base. Whisk vigorously until the color is completely uniform. Taste and adjust sweetness or ube flavor as desired.
  4. Refrigerate the base for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours) until very cold.
  5. Just before serving, slowly pour in 2 to 3 cups cold lemon-lime soda. Stir gently to combine. Add 4 to 6 cups ice and stir again.
  6. Pour into individual glasses, ensuring each gets some ice. Garnish as desired with edible glitter, gummy worms, or other toppings. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, chill all ingredients beforehand. The creamy base can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Once soda is added, consume within 2-3 hours. For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free sweetened condensed milk. For an adult version, add coconut rum or vanilla vodka.
