Spooky Dry Ice Cocktails for Halloween
Why are dry ice cocktails the MOST fun Halloween cocktail around? Idk but the spooky factor is why I love 'em personally.
So, here's a spooky little cocktail to get you into Halloween mode.
Servings: 6 cocktails
Ingredients
- matcha powder the packet I used is 1.5 grams - which 1/3 of a teaspoon
- 36 ounces of cream soda
- 12 ounces of vodka
- dry ice do NOT consume dry ice - it's strictly for decoration
Instructions
- Whisk cream soda and matcha until match is mostly dissolved.
- Strain if necessary to remove any matcha clumps that didn't dissolve.
- The matcha is really just for looks, not really for taste...the taste is very, very subtle in this cocktail.
- Add vodka and lightly stir. Pour into pitcher and serve in a glass over a small piece of dry ice to get the smoky effect you see in the photos.
- OR add the cocktail mixture to a punch bowl and then in a larger bowl underneath the first (similar to this setup), add the dry ice.
- That way the dry ice will never touch your drink.
Notes
Important Note About Dry Ice!
Do NOT drink cocktail until dry ice has fully dissolved. This is very important....dry ice is not meant to be consumed. It's just for looks.
It usually takes 5-10 minutes for the dry ice to dissolve depending on how big of a chunk you add in - a little goes a long way.
And it will sink to the bottom, so the likelihood of consumption may be low BUT better safe than sorry.
Start small and always use tongs to place dry ice into the glass.
And do not touch it with your hands.
