Halloween Party Punch
This Halloween Party Punch is a spooky, smoky drink made with ginger ale, pineapple juice, lime sherbet, and green food coloring. Make it as a single drink or a big batch for your Halloween party!

Looking for an easy Halloween drink that will steal the show? This Halloween Party Punch is bright green, bubbly, sweet, and topped with lime sherbet for a fun, fizzy finish. Add dry ice for a spooky smoking effect that makes it perfect for Halloween parties, spooky movie nights, and school celebrations.
You can make a single serving or mix up a punch bowl for a crowd. Keep it kid-friendly with ginger ale or lemon-lime soda, or add vodka or gin to the single-drink version for an adults-only option.
Important: Dry ice must never be eaten or touched with bare hands. Follow the safety instructions below before serving.
- Never eat or touch dry ice with bare hands. Use appropriate insulated gloves or tongs when handling it.
- Never place loose dry ice in individual drinking glasses or allow guests to drink while dry ice is present.
- Keep dry ice inaccessible to children and guests, and use it only in a well-ventilated area.
- Never store dry ice in an airtight container, as pressure can build up.
- Do not assume the dry ice has disappeared just because the smoking effect stops. Wait until it has completely sublimated before consuming punch that could contain it

๐ก Tips for Success
- Make it extra green: Add food coloring a few drops at a time until you get the shade you want.
- Keep everything chilled: Refrigerate the soda and pineapple juice before mixing to keep the punch cold and bubbly.
- Add the sherbet last: The sherbet creates a fun, foamy top, so add it right before serving.
- Where to find dry ice: You can often find dry ice near the front of grocery stores. Ask a store employee for assistance locating and handling it.
- Make it kid-friendly: Use ginger ale or lemon-lime soda and skip the alcohol. This is a fun option for Halloween parties and school celebrations, provided the dry ice is handled and contained safely.
