Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups fruit punch or berry juice mix preferably chilled
  • 1 cup lemon-lime soda for fizz and sparkle
  • 1/2 cup mint syrup or muddled fresh mint adds a refreshing flavor
  • 1 cup sugar syrup for sweetness
  • 1 piece dry ice small chunks, food grade

Equipment

  • Large punch bowl
  • Stirring spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Dry ice (food-safe)

Method
 

  1. Measure and pour the fruit punch into a large punch bowl, filling it about three-quarters full.
  2. Add the lemon-lime soda to the punch bowl, gently stirring to combine and create a lightly fizzy base.
  3. Stir in the mint syrup or muddled mint leaves to give the punch a refreshing, herbal note and vibrant color.
  4. Pour the sugar syrup into the mixture to enhance sweetness, stirring well to blend all flavors evenly.
  5. Create a smoky, swirling effect by carefully adding small chunks of food-grade dry ice to the punch. Be cautious and ensure proper ventilation.
  6. Watch as the dry ice begins to bubble and emit smoky plumes, swirling around the surface of the punch for a spooky, bubbling display.
  7. Serve immediately with a ladle and fun Halloween decorations like plastic spiders or floating gummy worms for added creepiness.

Notes

Always handle dry ice with gloves and ensure proper ventilation. Replace dry ice chunks as needed for continued bubbling and smoky effect during the party.
