How to Add Dry Ice in Fruit Punch

Whether you are hosting a Halloween party or some other shindig with a spooky theme, you are probably looking for ways to carry that creepy feeling through the whole event. Dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide) skips the melting process and goes straight from a solid to a gas. The gas emitted by the dry ice looks like fog, making it a convenient way to keep the punch at your party cold while adding a spooky effect.

• 1

  Place the dry ice in the punch bow with the tongs. Use chunks of dry ice rather than one big block to keep the punch from getting too cold too fast, which will cause the dry ice to become encased in frozen punch and no longer create fog.

• 2

  Fill the punch bowl with punch that is room temperature or warmer. Punch that is warm will take longer to get cold enough to freeze around the dry ice, making the fog effect last longer.

• 3

  Remove the chunks of ice once they become encased in frozen punch and float to the top to prevent guests from ingesting the dry ice.
