Ingredients
- 1 quart (946 ml) lime sherbet
- 2 liters (67.6 fl oz) lemon-lime soda
- 1 cup (240 ml) pineapple juice
- Green food coloring (optional, a few drops)
- 1–2 pounds (450–900 grams) dry ice (handle with care, do not ingest)
- Fresh lime slices (for garnish)
- Optional: splash of ginger ale
- Optional: handful of fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Chill the lemon-lime soda, pineapple juice, lime sherbet, and punch bowl for at least one hour before mixing.
- Scoop the entire quart of lime sherbet into the punch bowl and gently break it up with a spoon.
- Pour in 1 cup of pineapple juice over the sherbet and stir gently until somewhat blended but still chunky.
- Add 2-3 drops of green food coloring if a more vibrant green color is desired and swirl gently to mix.
- Slowly pour in 2 liters of lemon-lime soda, stirring lightly to preserve the fizz.
- Float fresh lime slices on top for garnish.
- Using gloves and tongs, carefully add small chunks of dry ice to the punch bowl right before serving to create a fog effect. Do not let guests touch or ingest dry ice.
- Serve immediately by ladling punch into cups, ensuring dry ice remains in the bowl.
Notes
Chill all liquids and punch bowl beforehand to keep punch thick and frothy longer. Stir gently to preserve soda fizz. Handle dry ice with gloves and tongs; add dry ice only right before serving. For dairy-free, substitute lime sherbet with lime sorbet or frozen lime juice concentrate mixed with coconut milk. For lower sugar, use diet soda or sparkling water with natural sweetener. Add ginger ale or sugar if punch is too tart. Store leftovers in fridge without dry ice and consume within 24 hours.
