Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (12-ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 1 (46-ounce) can pineapple juice
- 1 (2-liter) bottle lemon-lime soda, chilled
- 1 quart lime sherbet, softened
- 4 cups cold water
- 1 block food-grade dry ice
- Green food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pitcher, combine the thawed lemonade concentrate, pineapple juice, and cold water. Stir until the concentrate is fully dissolved.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
- About 10 minutes before serving, soften the lime sherbet at room temperature.
- Pour the chilled punch base into a large punch bowl. Slowly pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda and stir gently.
- Scoop the softened lime sherbet into the punch bowl in large dollops. Add green food coloring if desired and swirl gently.
- Using tongs, carefully place a small chunk of dry ice (about the size of a golf ball) into the punch bowl. The dry ice will create fog.
- Serve immediately, ladling punch into cups and ensuring no dry ice pieces get into drinks.
Notes
Handle dry ice with tongs, never bare hands. Add dry ice just before serving for best fog effect. Warn guests not to ingest dry ice. For a dairy-free version, use lime sorbet or coconut milk-based sherbet.
