Ingredients

1 (6-ounce) package lime gelatin
2 cups boiling water
3 cups chilled pineapple juice
1 (2 liter) bottle chilled lemon-lime soft drink or ginger ale
2 cups chilled vodka, optional

Special equipment:

1 large black plastic cauldron (available at party or craft stores)
1 punch bowl that fits inside the cauldron
1 plastic hand (available at party supply stores), sterilized in hot water
1 block dry ice (available at supermarkets, ice cream shops or ice companies)

Directions

Pour the gelatin mix into a large bowl. Slowly stir in the boiling water. Stir at least 2 minutes, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir in the pineapple juice. Let cool to room temperature.

Wearing heavy duty gloves or using tongs, place the block of dry ice in the bottom of the cauldron. (Dry ice will burn skin, so handle it with gloves and tongs and keep it away from kids and pets!)

Use an ice pick to break the block into smaller chunks, if necessary.

Fill the cauldron with just enough water to cover the dry ice. It will begin to "steam."

Place the punch bowl inside the cauldron, on top of the dry ice. The cauldron will appear to be magically smoking.

Entrap the sterilized rubber hand between the cauldron and the punch bowl, squeezing it tight so the hand appears to be reaching out of the mist for help. Hot-glue the hand to the cauldron, if necessary, to hold it in place.

Carefully pour the drink mixture into the punch bowl. Slowly add the chilled vodka and lemon-lime soda or ginger ale. Stir gently to mix.

Holiday friendly

We've been making this for a couple of years now for all our parties. It's great for Halloween, Christmas, and St. Patricks... day, and for 4th of July we make it with a red jello instead of lime. Everyone loves it and we usually have to make at least two batches. Love it! Love it! Love it!Read more

My husband and I loved this punch. Our little family just had a quiet halloween together and made this along with some cake.... It was very festive because of the green color and quite delish!Read more

Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I follow the recipe to a "T" except I use coconut rum instead of vodka--really gives it a summery, exotic feel thats great,... even if its a colder halloween. My party goers enjoy it and its always asked for the next year!Read more

I've been making this recipe for years and everyone loves it. I always end up making another batch half way though the party... and I still run out.Read more
