Frequently asked questions (FAQ's)
Aren't they awesome? I found those on Amazon a while back, but there are many fun, spooky choices! Click on the link above in the equipment section. The Amazon storefront link has even more glasses to choose from!
Nope! Dry ice isn't for human consumption. So though it looks cool in the pictures, don't add it to your drink. You could add some to a cauldron used for decoration purposes only. It adds a spooky fog, I love that!
Absolutely! You can also use red or purple food coloring. I just thought the green looked especially cool.
Deb's tips for the perfect dish
Make a pitcher of these for your party! It's easy to adjust the serving size. Use the drag bar to adjust the ingredient amounts in the recipe card for the amount of servings.
You can use a large pitcher or a punch bowl if you're serving a crowd.
