Ingredients
Scale
- 1 quart (950 ml) chilled limeade
- 2 liters (67 fl oz) chilled lemon-lime soda
- 1–2 teaspoons green food coloring
- 1–2 pounds (450–900 g) food-grade dry ice
- Standard ice cubes
- Lime wheels, green gummy worms, or edible glitter for garnish
Instructions
- Chill the limeade thoroughly before mixing.
- Place a Styrofoam cooler or small container inside the punch bowl to hold the dry ice separately.
- Add dry ice chunks to the Styrofoam container using oven mitts or tongs.
- In a large pitcher, combine chilled limeade and green food coloring, stirring until uniform.
- Add lemon-lime soda to the pitcher last to preserve carbonation.
- Pour the limeade and soda mixture into the punch bowl around the dry ice container.
- Fill the punch bowl with regular ice cubes, leaving space around the dry ice container.
- Garnish with lime wheels or gummy worms, avoiding the dry ice container.
- Serve immediately, ladling punch from the main bowl to avoid scooping up dry ice.
Notes
Handle dry ice with oven mitts or tongs; never touch with bare hands. Keep dry ice in a separate container to prevent freezing the punch or safety hazards. Work in a well-ventilated area as dry ice releases carbon dioxide gas. Do not seal dry ice in airtight containers. The fog effect lasts 2-4 hours depending on insulation and ambient temperature.
