Aurora Christmas Glow Punch
**Ingredients**
- **Blue Layer:**
- 2 cups blue raspberry drink mix or soda (chilled)
- 1/4 cup blue curaçao syrup (non-alcoholic)
- **Green Layer:**
- 2 cups limeade or green apple soda (chilled)
- 1/4 cup melon-flavored syrup
- **Purple Layer:**
- 2 cups grape juice (chilled)
- 1/4 cup cranberry juice
- **Topping:**
- Lemon-lime soda or sparkling water (chilled)
- Edible glitter or shimmer powder (food-safe, optional)
**Garnishes:**
- Star-shaped fruit slices (pineapple or apple, optional)
- Ice cubes
**Instructions**
1. **Prepare Layers:** Chill all ingredients thoroughly before assembling to prevent mixing.
- Start with the blue layer: Combine blue raspberry drink and blue curaçao syrup. Pour into a punch bowl or glasses.
- Slowly pour the green layer over the back of a spoon to create a gentle layer.
- Repeat with the purple layer, pouring it carefully to maintain distinct colors.
2. **Add Fizz:** Top with lemon-lime soda or sparkling water just before serving to add bubbles.
3. **Garnish:** Sprinkle edible glitter for a magical glow and float star-shaped fruit slices for decoration.
**Tips**
- **Layering Success:** Use a spoon and pour slowly for clear, defined layers. Add crushed ice to slow the mixing process further.
- **Boozy Option:** Add vodka or rum to each layer for an adult twist.
- **Aurora Glow:** Place LED lights under the punch bowl for an illuminated, aurora-inspired effect.
