St. Lucy Eyeball Punch

The stories say that the tortures suffered by St. Lucy included having her eyeballs poked out, and she is often depicted in art holding her own eyes. So, we like to make this punch in her honor on her feast day. (It’s also fun for Halloween). The kids love to help! Nota bene: The sorbet eyeballs melt quickly in the punch, so add them just before serving. Makes 24 approximately 8oz servings. To add two eyeballs to each serving, double the amount of sorbet and blueberries used.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pt lemon sorbet
  • 24 blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 1 2L bottle cherry 7UP (cold)
  • 1 46 fl oz can pineapple juice (cold)
  • 1 64 fl oz bottle 100% cranberry juice (cold)

Instructions
 

  • Working quickly, make 1 inch balls of sorbet (a 1 Tablespoon dough scoop makes it easy) and insert a blueberry into each one. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the freezer to freeze solid, overnight or at least 4 hours. When it’s time to serve, combine the cold soda and juice in a large punchbowl. Eyeballs can be floated on top of the punch in the bowl, or placed in the glasses after serving the punch.

Hi! I’m Kendra.

For twenty years now, I’ve been using food, prayer, and conversation based around the liturgical calendar to share the lives of the saints and the beautiful truths and traditions of our Catholic faith. My own ten children, our friends and neighbors, and people just like you have been on this journey with me.

If you’d like to learn more about what Catholics believe and why, and to be inspired by saints from every era all over the world, you’ve come to the right place. If you’re feeling overwhelmed with the prospect of how to teach your kids about the faith in a way that’s true, engaging, and lasts a lifetime, we can help!
