Ingredients

ice
4 ounces vodka unflavored
1 1/2 ounces grenadine
6-8 ounces chilled lemon-lime soda Sprite, 7-Up or other brand

Instructions

Fill two highball glasses with ice. Add the vodka (2 ounces per glass) and grenadine (3/4 ounces per glass).
Fill with lemon-lime soda and garnish with maraschino cherries.

Notes

Review our Dry Ice Guide with all the details on where to buy and how to use dry ice.

Halloween version

Add the vodka, grenadine and half the lemon lime soda to highball glasses without ice.
Add a few cubes of regular ice and a very small piece of dry ice.
The dry ice will make the cocktail bubble up and smoke. Wait for the dry ice to subside, remove any residual before drinking.
Add more regular ice to fill glass as needed (the dry ice will chill the cocktail).

How to make it a regular or Halloween punch

Decide the number of servings needed.
Multiple the ingredients needed for an individual cocktail times your serving number.
In a punch bowl or food safe plastic cauldron add the vodka, grenadine and lemon lime soda (right before serving or the soda will go flat).
Add a piece of dry ice and allow it to smoke (about 5-10 minutes). Scoop out servings ensuring none of the dry ice gets into the individual serving glasses.
