Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (950 ml) green apple juice, preferably fresh or a good quality brand like Martinelli’s
  • 2 cups (475 ml) green apple soda or lemon-lime soda, chilled (e.g., Sierra Mist or Sprite)
  • 2 cups (475 ml) sparkling water, chilled (optional, for less sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or agave syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
  • 23 drops green food coloring (optional, to deepen color)
  • 12 green apples, thinly sliced for garnish
  • 12 pounds dry ice chunks, food-grade, for smoke effect (handle with gloves or tongs)

Instructions

  1. Chill all liquids (green apple juice, soda, and sparkling water) for about 1 hour before starting.
  2. In a large punch bowl, combine 4 cups green apple juice, 2 cups green apple soda or lemon-lime soda, and 2 cups sparkling water if using. Stir gently to blend flavors without losing fizz.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice and stir lightly to balance sweetness.
  4. If desired, stir in 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup until dissolved.
  5. Add 2-3 drops green food coloring and stir slowly to evenly distribute color without breaking bubbles.
  6. Thinly slice 1-2 green apples and float the slices on top of the punch for garnish.
  7. Using gloves or tongs, carefully add 1-2 pounds of dry ice chunks to the punch bowl. Do not break dry ice into small pieces.
  8. Serve carefully using a ladle, avoiding dry ice chunks in glasses to prevent burns.

Notes

Always handle dry ice with gloves or tongs to avoid frostbite. Do not let dry ice pieces enter drinking glasses. Add dry ice last after mixing all other ingredients. Keep punch chilled to maintain smoke effect longer. Replenish dry ice as needed during the party. Store leftover punch without dry ice in the refrigerator up to 24 hours.
