You can find the black cauldron at any party store (you can also serve your Halloween drink in a plastic pumpkin if you’d like), and I found the skull ice mold kit at a craft store.
Dry ice is sold in grocery stores, and really makes this Witches Brew recipe over the top spooky for Halloween.
Halloween Punch with Dry Ice: Follow These Dry Ice Safety Rules
Dry ice is fun to use, but you must follow a few important safety rules if you want to make Halloween punch with dry ice!
- Do not use dry ice in individual drinks. Use only in a large cauldron or punch bowls for effect. Under no circumstances should dry ice be placed in the mouth.
- Do not touch dry ice directly. Keep the dry ice in its package at all times. Dry ice has a temperature of -79°C and direct contact can cause freeze burns. If you must handle dry ice, use gloves or newspaper.
- Do not place dry ice in airtight containers such as stoppered glass jars, bottles or other sealed containers as they could explode.
- Do not store dry ice in refrigerators or freezers. Store in the best-insulated cooler possible.
How Can I Make Green Halloween Punch?

The hardest part about this was finding the dry ice in the grocery store. Tip: Ask. The effect was super cool and the punch tasty. We left it non-alcoholic because it was a family party, but the more adventurous of us added a shot of vodka, as suggested. Sneaky!
