How Do You Make Dry Ice Cocktails?
Dry ice is a fun tool to jazz up any beverage. Use it in your favorite cocktail, at your next dinner party or to make a fun bubbling Halloween brew. Here are some tips on using dry ice in a cocktail and a few cocktail ideas to use it in. Purchase up to a pound of dry ice (be careful to store and ship appropriately). Once you are home, use tongs to lift into a plastic bag and double-bag the ice. Alcoholic Cocktail: Mix grape vodka, champagne and grape juice for the adults. Add the dry ice for effect. Non-alcoholic: Mix ginger ale and grape juice to make a fizzy, purple beverage for kids. Add the dry ice to make it more spooky. Use the ice pick or sharp knife (careful!) to shave off several small chips of dry ice. Keep them small to not overwhelm the beverage, you just want enough to bring life to the drink. Dry ice sinks so the small chip will sink to the bottom of your cocktail and create a colorful, bubbling, smoky drink. Enjoy!
