Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups orange juice
- 4 cups pineapple juice
- 2 cups lemonade
- 2 cups limeade
- 4 cups ginger ale
- 2 cups cold water
- 1 small block food-grade dry ice
- Gummy worms (for garnish)
- Plastic spiders or eyeballs (optional)
- Orange slices (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
- Ice cubes with frozen gummy worms inside (optional)
Instructions
- Chill all ingredients beforehand (at least 2 hours).
- In a punch bowl or large pitcher, combine orange juice, pineapple juice, lemonade, and limeade. Stir gently.
- Add cold water and stir again. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours to meld flavors.
- Just before serving, add ginger ale and stir gently to preserve fizz.
- Using tongs and gloves, break dry ice into golf ball-sized chunks by wrapping in a towel and tapping with a hammer.
- Carefully drop dry ice chunks into the punch bowl using tongs. Do not touch with bare hands.
- Add gummy worms and optional plastic spiders or eyeballs on top.
- Serve immediately, ladling into cups. Warn guests not to drink dry ice chunks. Dry ice will dissolve in 15-20 minutes.
Notes
Dry ice is safe in beverages if handled properly. Never touch dry ice with bare hands. Keep a separate pitcher of punch without dry ice for young children. For longer fog effect, add dry ice in stages every 10-15 minutes. Leftover punch can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; add fresh ginger ale before serving again.
