Ingredients
Scale
- 1 liter lemon-lime soda (chilled)
- 4 cups pineapple juice (chilled)
- 1 quart lime sherbet
- 1 cup cold water
- Green food coloring gel (optional)
- Neon green food coloring (optional)
- 1–2 pounds food-grade dry ice
- Plastic spiders or gummy worms (optional)
- Lime wheels (optional)
- Edible glitter (optional)
Instructions
- Chill all ingredients (pineapple juice, lemon-lime soda, water) overnight or for a few hours. Keep sherbet in the freezer until ready.
- In a large pitcher, combine chilled pineapple juice, cold water, and lemon-lime soda. Stir gently. Add food coloring if desired, starting with one drop and adjusting to desired green hue.
- Pour the mixed base into a large punch bowl, leaving about one-third of the bowl empty.
- Scoop lime sherbet into the punch bowl in large dollops. Do not stir completely; let it float and melt naturally.
- Using tongs or thick gloves, break dry ice into golf ball-sized chunks (wrap in a towel and tap with a hammer if needed).
- Carefully drop a few chunks of dry ice into the punch bowl using tongs. Add more chunks every 15-20 minutes as fog dissipates.
- Garnish with plastic spiders, gummy worms, lime wheels, or edible glitter. Serve immediately, reminding guests not to consume dry ice.
Notes
Never handle dry ice with bare skin; use tongs or thick gloves. Do not seal dry ice in an airtight container. For kid-friendly version, omit dry ice or supervise closely. Keep extra sherbet on hand to refresh the punch as it thins.
