This spooky witches brew green punch with dry ice takes ten minutes to throw together, looks like something a potion master would serve, and tastes like a fizzy lime cream soda that adults and kids both go crazy for.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 liter lime sherbet (softened slightly)
  • 2 liters ginger ale (chilled)
  • 1 can (46 ounces) pineapple juice (chilled)
  • 1 liter lemon-lime soda (chilled)
  • Green food coloring (gel or liquid, optional)
  • 1 to 2 pounds dry ice
  • Optional garnishes: gummy worms, plastic spiders, or frozen lime wheels

Instructions

  1. Soften the sherbet: Take the lime sherbet out of the freezer and let it sit on the counter for 10 minutes until it is the consistency of thick yogurt.
  2. Combine the liquids: Pour the chilled ginger ale, pineapple juice, and lemon-lime soda into your punch bowl. Stir gently with a ladle to combine without losing carbonation.
  3. Add the sherbet: Scoop the softened lime sherbet into the punch bowl in large dollops. Do not stir it in completely; let it float on top and slowly melt into the liquid.
  4. Color the punch: Add green food coloring one drop at a time, stirring gently, until you achieve a deep, swampy green (about 8 drops of gel coloring).
  5. Add the garnishes: Drop in gummy worms or plastic spiders if using, and add frozen lime wheels around the rim of the bowl.
  6. Prepare the dry ice: Put on insulated gloves. Use tongs to transfer dry ice pieces into a small bowl, breaking larger pieces into golf ball-sized chunks.
  7. Add the dry ice: Drop the dry ice pieces into the punch bowl one at a time. Do not stir; let it sit and sublimate naturally, creating fog.
  8. Serve immediately: Ladle the punch into cups, being careful not to scoop up any dry ice pieces. Add more dry ice pieces every 30 to 45 minutes as needed.

Notes

Chill all ingredients and the punch bowl overnight or for at least an hour before serving. Do not crush dry ice into powder; use golf ball-sized chunks. Never touch dry ice with bare skin or put it in your mouth. The dry ice effect lasts about 30-45 minutes; add fresh pieces as needed. For a dairy-free version, substitute lime sorbet for sherbet. For an adult version, add 1 cup of vodka or white rum.
