Place the sealed gloves on a paper towel-lined baking sheet and freeze them for at least 3 hours (if using water) or 6 hours (if using juice) until they are completely firm.

To make the punch, in a large punch bowl, combine the two bottles of Juicy Juice Punch with the thawed frozen lemonade concentrate, stirring gently to mix the flavors together.

Slowly add in the carbonated lemon-lime beverage, allowing the fizz to create a bubbly texture to the punch.

If the hands start to melt, simply replace them with a fresh pair from the freezer for continuous spooky fun!
