Notes

Mocktail

Just keep out the alcohol, use grenadine instead of the Chambord or a raspberry simple syrup!

Pro Tips on Dry Ice

Dry Ice can usually be found at big chain grocery stores like Harris Teeter, Kroger, Walmart, etc. Call before just running to the store, not every store has it.

When using dry ice never and I mean never touch it with your bare skin or with any orifice or membranes like your mouth or tongue.

Always use tongs to move it around, and use it in well ventilated spaces. Living room? ok. spooky closet or old unventilated cabin? I don't suggest it.

Dry ice needs to be so cold it will evaporate in your freezer so you'll have to get it the day of usage, preferably up to a few hours before serving. This stuff is so cold it doesn't even have a liquid state, it just evaporates!
