Ingredients
Scale
Liquids
- 2 liters ginger ale, chilled
- 4 cups pineapple juice, chilled
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (optional)
Other Ingredients
- 1 tub lime sherbet (~48 oz)
- 1 block dry ice (around 5 lbs for a 3-hour party)
Instructions
- Prepare Dry Ice: Break the dry ice into large pieces using a mallet or suitable tool while wearing gloves to avoid burns. Place some of the dry ice at the bottom of your cauldron. Keep the remaining dry ice in a cooler nearby.
- Create Smoke Effect: Pour hot water over the dry ice in the cauldron to start the smoking effect.
- Assemble Punch Bowl: Position the punch bowl on top of the dry ice inside the cauldron. Combine the ginger ale, pineapple juice, and lemon juice in the punch bowl and stir well.
- Add Sherbet: Scoop lime sherbet into the punch bowl and stir gently for a few minutes until the sherbet begins to melt and mix with the punch.
- Serve and Maintain: Serve the punch immediately. Replenish dry ice and hot water as needed to keep the smoky effect going throughout the party.
Notes
- Always handle dry ice with gloves to prevent burns.
- Do not place dry ice directly into the punch bowl or cups to avoid ingestion risks.
- Use hot water carefully when creating the smoke effect to avoid splashing.
- Keep extra dry ice in a cooler to maintain the effect for longer parties.
- The lemon juice is optional but adds a nice tang to balance sweetness.
