    Dry Ice Safety & Handling Procedures

    BE CAREFUL when handling and using dry ice with any food, drink, or project you are doing.  Follow the guidelines and information carefully in the recipe ideas shared here.

    Once you do and make any of these recipes, make sure you have your camera ready. You will want to take some amazing photos of these amazing Halloween alcoholic drinks with a dry ice effect.  For more information on the proper handling of dry ice check out DRY ICE SAFETY INFORMATION. 

    Where to Buy Dry Ice Near You

    Most grocery or liquor stores do not sell dry ice. I am lucky enough to have a large chain grocery store less than a mile away that does.  But for most, you need to search it out for where dry ice is for sale. 

    Before you go to purchase it, make sure to bring a cooler for your dry ice - you do not want to handle it directly. Here is a great DRY ICE LOCATOR BY PENGUIN ICE.   

    Dry Ice Cocktail Recipe Ideas

    Dry ice cocktail recipes shared here include so many different alcohol choices including rum, gin, tequila, vodka, and even Midori.  For me a dry ice martini is the ultimate Halloween cocktail for my holiday party. Here are a few cocktails I love for Halloween. The Hocus Pocus Cocktail has a fun dry ice fog effect. The others can be extra spooky with the addition of dry ice too.

    Just be CAUTIOUS - any cocktail with sparking bubbles or carbonation like sodas, beers, seltzers, and Champagne will SHOOT up in the air like a volcano if you add dry ice. So that is a NO NO unless you love sticky messes!

    Some of these cocktails do not contain a dry ice feature, but they are fantastic for Halloween. When having a party, it is great to offer a few special cocktails that fit with the theme. 

    These drinks are easy and perfect for a Halloween cocktail or costume party.   They are both sweet and the perfect treat for adults. Mocktails too for something alcohol-free for kids & adults.

    Hocus Pocus Cocktail

      I didn't have any dry ice but hope to find some before Halloween that I can get in my area. I love blackberry cocktails so found this margarita recipe and sure loved it.
