Ingredients

Scale
  • 64 ounces Pineapple Juice
  • 32 ounces Cranberry Juice (100% juice)
  • 2 liters Ginger Ale (chilled)
  • 2 liters Lemon-Lime Soda (chilled)
  • 16 ounces Orange Juice
  • 2–4 tablespoons Blue Curacao Syrup (optional, for color)
  • 2–3 pounds Food-grade Dry Ice
  • Large bowl of regular Ice Cubes
  • Orange slices (for garnish)
  • Lemon wheels (for garnish)
  • Edible glitter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Fill a large, wide punch bowl with regular ice cubes to keep the punch cold and slow dry ice sublimation.
  2. In a large pitcher, combine pineapple juice, cranberry juice, orange juice, and blue curacao syrup (if using). Stir well to blend.
  3. Just before serving, pour in the ginger ale and lemon-lime soda. Stir gently to mix without losing carbonation.
  4. Put on heat-resistant gloves or grab kitchen tongs for safety.
  5. Break dry ice into smaller chunks if necessary. Using tongs or gloves, place 2-3 pounds of dry ice chunks into the punch bowl among the ice or partially submerged in liquid.
  6. Watch the fog roll out. If the fog stops, add more dry ice chunks.
  7. Float orange slices, lemon wheels, and edible glitter on top for garnish.
  8. Serve using a sturdy ladle, ensuring no dry ice chunks are scooped into the glasses. Remind guests to let bubbles settle before drinking.

Notes

Never ingest dry ice as it causes internal frostbite. Always handle dry ice with tongs or thick gloves. Ensure the bowl is wide to allow fog to spill over. Do not use glass bowls as they may shatter from thermal shock. The soda should be added last minute to maintain fizz. The juice base can be made 24 hours in advance.
