Method
- Combine Liquids: In your punch bowl, pour in the Green Hawaiian Punch, Ginger Ale, thawed Limeade Concentrate, Lemon-Lime Soda, and Fresh Lime Juice.
- Adjust Color: Add green food coloring, a few drops at a time, until you achieve your desired shade of eerie green. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
- Sweetness Check: Taste the punch. If it's too tart, add a little simple syrup or additional limeade concentrate, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your preferred sweetness level.
- Boozy Addition (Optional): If making an adult version, stir in the vodka.
- Chill: Refrigerate the punch for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. This also helps to keep it cold before adding the dry ice.
- Garnish: Just before serving, add gummy worms, gummy eyeballs, and plastic spiders to the punch bowl.
- Dry Ice Effect (Optional): Using gloves, carefully add small pieces of dry ice to the punch. Be aware that dry ice will sink to the bottom and should not be ingested. As the dry ice sublimates, it will create a spooky, bubbling effect. Replenish as needed to maintain the effect.
- Serve: Ladle the punch into glasses, ensuring that no dry ice is transferred into the individual servings.
Notes
For the best color, use gel food coloring. Always handle dry ice with gloves and supervise children. Add dry ice just before serving for maximum effect. For a less sweet version, substitute club soda for ginger ale. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours without garnishes or dry ice.
