Print Recipe

A spooky, non-alcoholic Halloween punch that comes together in under 10 minutes with black grape juice, lemonade, and ginger ale, topped with dramatic dry ice fog for a magical effect.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups black grape juice (preferably Welch’s 100% grape juice)
  • 2 cups lemonade (store-bought or homemade, not too sugary)
  • 4 cups ginger ale (Canada Dry or Schweppes, well-chilled)
  • 1 cup cold water (optional, to stretch the punch)
  • 1 pound food-grade dry ice
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries (for garnish)
  • Ice cubes (optional, for extra chill)

Instructions

  1. Chill the grape juice, lemonade, and ginger ale in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
  2. About 10 minutes before serving, prepare the dry ice: wearing thick gloves or using tongs, wrap the dry ice block in a thick cloth or paper bag and break it into golf-ball-sized chunks with a hammer or mallet. Place chunks in a bowl and set aside. Do not seal in a container.
  3. About 5 minutes before serving, combine the chilled grape juice, lemonade, and ginger ale in a large punch bowl. Stir gently. Add cold water if desired. Taste and adjust sweetness with lemon juice or honey if needed.
  4. Just before serving, drop the blackberries into the punch.
  5. Immediately before serving, use tongs to carefully drop the dry ice chunks into the punch bowl. Do not touch with bare hands. Allow 30 seconds for fog to develop.
  6. Ladle punch into cups, being careful not to scoop up dry ice chunks. Replenish dry ice every 30-45 minutes to maintain fog effect.

Notes

Never touch dry ice with bare hands; use tongs or thick gloves. Do not let anyone consume dry ice—it can cause severe internal burns. Keep the room well-ventilated. Store extra dry ice in a cooler, not the freezer. For a spiked version, replace water with 1 cup vodka or white rum.
