  • 1 cup lemon-lime soda chilled
  • 0.5 cup fresh lemon juice for tartness
  • 0.25 cup simple syrup adjust for sweetness

  3. Stir in the simple syrup gradually, balancing the sweetness to your taste.
  4. Drop small bits of food coloring here and there, creating unpredictable swirls of green, purple, and red for a chaotic, spooky effect.
  5. Gently pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda to add fizz and a sparkling effect to the punch.
  6. Prepare small chunks of dry ice and carefully add a few pieces to the punch, creating bubbling, smoky effects that whirl and swirl.

Notes

Always handle dry ice with gloves and tongs for safety. Keep the punch away from children handling dry ice directly. Replace dry ice pieces as needed for continuous bubbling effect.
