Of my three Halloween recipes, this may be my favorite. Don’t get me wrong, all taste wonderful, but the dry ice just makes this drink so fun. It creates a bubbling effect when dropped into this Purple Potion cocktail. The bubbles fill with smoke that escapes when they pop, which is how we get these awesome wisps of smoke. Pretty cool right? I think so too.
When making this drink, it turns out a bit more magenta if you don’t use the food coloring. It’s still a pretty cool color, so I leave it up to you to decide what shade you want. Another thing to keep in mind is you’ll need to wear gloves (oven mitts are fine) and glasses to chip away at the block of dry ice. You’ll want to avoid getting it on your skin too, so chip away slowly in a well ventilated area. Other than that, you’ll totally have guests going crazy over this terrific concoction.
Ingredients

Hey I am looking to make something like this for my wedding favors, where can I buy that pomegranate soda? I live in NY
World Market. 🙂 Not sure if there’s a location there. Whole Foods might carry it too.
So do we just wait for the ice to melt completely before drinking it?
Yes, just to be safe. You can always use tongs to remove the ice right before drinking too. Have a great Halloween!
Where do you find dry ice?
You can find it at most grocery stores. 🙂
