Tips for Handling Dry Ice
Our Halloween Spiked Punch has an extra spookiness to it with the addition of dry ice. It literally makes the glass look like it’s smoking. It is the perfect substance for adding a touch of drama to special events or creating an eerie atmosphere in horror movies. But what many people don’t know is that it can be dangerous if not handled correctly.
If you’re planning on using this mysterious material, here are some tips and tricks to ensure your safety:
First of all, never handle dry ice with bare hands! Make sure you wear gloves or use tongs when handling it since contact with skin can cause severe frostbite.
Secondly, always store your dry ice in an insulated container such as a cooler or Styrofoam box—it will help contain the cold and keep it from evaporating too quickly.
Third, and perhaps most importantly, never consume it while it’s still in “ice form.” Dry ice can be incredibly dangerous if consumed incorrectly. But what actually happens if you decide to take a bite out of this -218 degree Celsius delicacy?
Well firstly, your mouth will feel like it has been plunged into the icy depths of Antarctica. This intense cold will cause an extreme amount of pain as all moisture in your mouth quickly evaporates due to the sublimation process. You may also experience loss of sensation in your tongue, as well as hand and foot numbness due to nerve damage caused by the cold temperatures.
That is why we recommend you let it dissolve completely before consuming your drink.
Other Halloween Cocktail Ideas
Halloween is one of the best times of year to get creative with your cocktail creations. Here are just a few of our favorites:
- Blood-red Jell-o shots: Just add your favorite liquor to red jello. Make it extra red with food coloring.
- Smoking cauldrons of your favorite margarita: Make it green with food coloring and just add dry ice.
- Zombie Highball: half an ounce each of silver and spiced rum, triple sec, orange juice, lime juice, simple syrup and grenadine.
- Green Goblin Fizz: one ounce each of vodka, coconut rum, peach schnapps, sour apple liqueur, and sweet and sour mix with ginger ale to top it off.
- Spooky Sangria: Fill a rubber glove with water – make sure it’s a latex free glove with no powder! Tie off the glove and freeze it. Then, when it’s frozen, peel off the glove and drop it into your sangria for a spooky effect!
Keep in mind: Pretty much any cocktail can become a spooky cocktail with the right description, a fun glass, and the right garnish….Plastic spiders and eyeballs go a long way during Halloween ๐
