Ingredients

- Dry Ice- If you want to add this special effect, use food-grade dry ice
Directions
- Rub each glass rim with a slice of lime and dip in Halloween sprinkles; set aside

- Wearing gloves, gently break up the dry ice and sprinkle a few pieces into the punch to add a smokey effect
- Serve in your decorated glasses and enjoy!

Regina says
Should the sprite be mixed at room temperature or should you refrigerate the sprite before hand? Thanks!
Kristen Massad says
Hi Regina,
I like adding the sprite straight from the refrigerator so it is cold but room temperature also works fine bc you are adding the dry ice which will make it cold as well!
Dana says
The recipe ingredients call for pineapple juice but the instructions (step 3) call for lime juice. Is step 3 of the instructions referring to the pineapple juice or should the pineapple juice be lime juice?
Kristen Massad says
I apologize, that was a typo! It is pineapple juice like the ingredient list shows!
Selena says
I can’t find lime sorbet anywhere. Can I go without it or substitute it for something else?

You can use orange sorbet and the punch with be orange! It tastes delicious as well!
