A vibrant purple Halloween punch with a spooky dry ice fog effect. This easy, non-alcoholic drink combines lemonade, ginger ale, and butterfly pea flower concentrate for a refreshing, crowd-pleasing beverage that comes together in under 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups lemonade (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 cups ginger ale
  • 1/2 cup butterfly pea flower concentrate
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional, for sweeter punch)
  • 1–2 pounds dry ice
  • Purple or black food coloring (optional)
  • Fresh edible flowers (for garnish, optional)
  • Plastic spiders or gummy worms (for garnish, optional)
  • Ice cubes with frozen fruit (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Punch Base (5 minutes): In a large punch bowl, combine 4 cups of lemonade and 4 cups of ginger ale. Stir gently. Add 1/2 cup of butterfly pea flower concentrate and stir again. Squeeze in 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice and stir. Taste and add honey or agave syrup if desired.
  2. Add the Spooky Color (2 minutes): If desired, add a drop or two of purple or black gel food coloring for a more intense color. Stir well.
  3. Prepare the Dry Ice (5 minutes): Wearing gloves or using tongs, break dry ice into small pieces (1-2 inches each) using a hammer or the back of a heavy knife. Place pieces in a small bowl.
  4. Assemble the Punch (2 minutes): Just before serving, use tongs to add dry ice pieces to the punch bowl. Do not stir. The fog will last about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Garnish and Serve (2 minutes): Float fresh edible flowers on top. Add plastic spiders or gummy worms if desired. Ladle into cups, avoiding dry ice pieces. Serve immediately.

Notes

Handle dry ice with gloves or tongs—never with bare hands. Add dry ice just before serving for best fog effect. Keep extra dry ice in a cooler wrapped in newspaper. Warn guests not to swallow dry ice pieces. The punch base can be made up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
