How to Make a Smoking Punch Bowl of Halloween Witch's Brew

Directions

1. Review all the safety guidelines from earlier. If you skipped them, go back and read them now.
2. Set up in a well-ventilated spot. Place the small bowl upside down in the bottom of your large punch bowl. This creates a pedestal that lifts the glass bowl and leaves room underneath for smoke to flow.
3. Position the heat-proof glass bowl on top of the small bowl inside the punch bowl. Make sure there's a gap between the glass bowl and the punch bowl all around.
4. Using long tongs (and gloves/goggles if you wish), drop small dry ice pebbles into the gap around the glass bowl. We used about 15 pieces to circle ours; the number depends on your bowl size. Avoid getting any dry ice into the glass bowl—that's where the punch goes.
5. Gently pour your prepared punch into the glass bowl. Our favorite recipe combines sherbert and ginger ale for extra bubbles and foam that fit the witch's brew theme perfectly.
6. To make the smoking effect, slowly pour 2–3 cups of water over the dry ice. Get ready for your guests to be amazed!
