1426.0. "Witches Brew Needed..." by 49ER::MEYERS () Mon Oct 10 1988 17:37

    I am looking for a NON-ALCOHOLIC punch (witches brew) for our
    Halloween party here.  I have checked this note file for other
    recipes but most were alcoholic.  I have extracted the other
    non-alcoholic recipes (2?) but it would be nice to have more
    selections!  
    
    Thanks in advance.

	p.s One small thing , if you really want to inpress your company use Dry Ice in the drink. Great affect on dark and spooky nights.
1426.9	Try a little sherbert in it	MPGS::NEEDLEMAN	Funny...she doesn't LOOK Druish	`Thu Oct 13 1988 15:25`	12
	I make my punch pretty much the same way as .5 does, except I don't add the cherries, but I do add some softened sherbert (flavor depends on your particular taste or favorite)......... it adds a nice flavor and gives the punch and extra eerie look, especially with the dry ice....I've also made it with just the sherbert, gingerale and Hawaiian punch.... Happy haunting.... Marc
1426.10	more on dry ice	TLE::STUART	Hi! I ate Cleveland. I ate Tokyo, too.	`Tue Oct 18 1988 18:07`	15
	the problem with dry ice is that small pieces of it can stray into drinks and be swallowed. since it is so cold (it is frozen carbon dioxide gas, after all), it can "stick" in your throat the same way your finger will stick to it, or your nose will stick to a cold flagpole on a winter day (if you happen to stick your nose on the flagpole, of course). this problem is easily prevented by wrapping a largish chunk of dry ice (it can be broken into manageable chunks easily with a hammer, but WEAR GLOVES WHEN YOU HANDLE IT!) in a fine mesh cloth, or window screen (we used to run a section of window screen through the dishwasher, and then wrap it around a twenty_pound chunk of dry ice). basically, dry ice is a lot of fun, but must be handled carefully. steve
