Witches Brew (with dry ice - your kid will think you are the
shiz-nit!)
Ingredients:
4 cups Cranberry juice cocktail
1 cup chopped & candied Ginger
3 Orange
12 oz frozen Apple juice concentrate
6 oz frozen Limeade concentrate
2 cups seedless Grapes
4 cups Water
1/2 gal Ginger ale
Mixing instructions:
In a 1 to 2 quart pan, bring 1 cup of cranberry juice and candied ginger to a
boil over high heat. Boil, uncovered, about 2 minutes, set aside. With a
vegetable peeler, pare peel (colored part only) from oranges: cut peel into
thin 2 in long worms: or use an Oriental shredder to make long shreds. Add
orange peel to cranberry mixture. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or as long
as overnight. Juice oranges: put juice in a 6 to 8 quart pan or heavy bowl.
Stir in cranberry-ginger mixture, the 3 cups cranberry juice, apple
concentrate, limeade, grapes and water. If made ahead, cover and chill up to 2
hours. Add ginger ale and about a 1 pound piece of dry ice (DO NOT put small
pieces in punch or cups): ice should smolder at least 30 minutes. Ladle into
cups. Add any remaining ice when bubbling ceases. NEVER TOUCH dry ice - use
tongs
