Witches Brew
4 cups cranberry juice
1 cup chopped candied ginger
3 oranges
12 ounce can frozen apple juice concentrate
6 ounce can frozen limeade concentrate
2 cups grapes
2 32-ounce bottles ginger ale
4 cups water
1 to 2 pounds dry ice
A SERIOUS CAUTION: Never touch dry ice; use tongs to handle. Only use if serving mature guests, or else if punch can be kept out of the way of little hands. This stuff is *very* dangerous.
But, it definitely adds to the spookiness.
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, peel zest from
oranges; cut peel into thin 2 inch long worms. 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.
