Slimy Swamp Water Punch

For Halloween this year I made a Punch for the kids in the afternoon. super simple and you can make it ahead of time. To make the swamp water you can use lime jello mix but I used red. i still told them it was swamp water cause they are young. but if you have older kids you can use red and tell them it is blood or something.

4 cups Apple cider
1 (3oz) pkg. any flavor Jello mix
6 Cups chilled lemon lime soda

Bring 1 cup of the apple cider to boiling in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in jello until completely dissolved.
Add to remaining cider that has been poured into 4 quart pitcher or punch bowl. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until serving time.
Just before serving, stir cider mixture and slowly mix in soda.


Note:
*Just for fun, try freezing 2 water-filled plastic gloves to use in place of icecubes. When ready to serve, slip off the gloves and float icy hands in punch bowl.
*If possible make the night before...over night the punch will thicken from the jello and can really become Slimy Swamp Water Punch!
