10 Spooky Dry Ice Drinks to Make for Halloween
They'll add a little drama to the night!
By 
There are plenty of ways to add a little spook factor to your Halloween party. For one thing, you can decorate your yard with creepy outdoor Halloween decorations. Once inside, surprise your guests with an assortment of decorated pumpkins, a playlist of spooky tunes, and a Halloween cocktail that'll have people shaking in their costumes! Of course, we're talking about the scariest cocktails of all—dry ice drinks! With swirling, wispy smoke that'll cause shivers down your spine, these Halloween recipes are perfect for creating that feeling of magic. From smoking sangria recipes to a bubbling witch's brew, here you’ll find tons of tons of inspiration for your Halloween libations!
But first, you'll want to know how to use dry ice safely! Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide, so when it melts, it turns into carbon dioxide gas—which is how you get the smoky effect. But to use it safely, you'll need to have gloves and tongs handy! If you didn't know, dry ice is extremely cold (as in, it can cause frostbite or even burns!) and it should never be swallowed. Instead, use the tongs to add a piece of dry ice to the bottom of your drink glass and wait for it to disappear before sipping. Or make a Halloween punch recipe and ladle out the individual servings without any dry ice. Bonus points if you serve it up with your favorite Halloween treats!
Smoking Sangria
Turn a deep red sangria into an even spookier concoction by using dry ice in the pitcher. But even without the smoke effect, the tart dark cherry juice, rich pomegranate juice and crisp orange liqueur make this drink to die for!
Poison Apple Martini
Add this drink to your witch-themed dinner party and you'll have everyone cackling with delight! It's made with apple cider, vodka, pomegranate juice, and a little dry ice. Plus, you can use activated charcoal for an even spookier effect.
Spooky Gin and Tonic
Between the purple color and the magical smoke, this twist on a classic cocktail is one of the most impressive we've seen! It somehow manages to be spooky and pretty at the same time.
Witch's Brew Drink
Boil, boil, toil, and trouble! This drink is bubbling with spooky fun. Its neon color comes from Midori, which is a bright green melon liqueur.
Pomegranate Ginger Punch
This spooky drink is perfect for anyone who likes the combination of sweet, tart, and punchy! It gets its flavor from pomegranate juice and ginger beer.

Vampire's Kiss Cocktail
Along with the blood red color and sweet-tart flavor of this cocktail, the glass is also garnished with a red sugar rim. It's fang-tastically fun!
Halloween Punch
This spooky, smoking punch is perfect for kids and adults, alike! It's made with ginger ale, pomegranate juice, black cherry juice, and frozen cherries. But if you want to make it boozy, just add your favorite alcohol.

Freshly muddled blackberries and real pomegranate juice give this vodka-based drink those deep, dark Halloween vibes. Of course, it's the edible glitter and dry ice that really take it over the top!
