Try any of these dry ice cocktails at your next event for the mesmerizing look of fog and frosty vapor swirling around your glass!

When added to a drink, dry ice causes what appears to be smoke to come out of the glass. Remember some safety tips when handling dry ice, such as not touching it directly but instead using tongs to avoid frostbite and waiting for it to dissolve before fully taking a sip from your drink.

With that in mind, these 25 dry ice cocktails are fitting for your Halloween party, fantasy-themed night, or even add an extra flair to your evening. The Vampire’s Kiss Cocktail and Witches Brew will add spookiness to your night by including dry ice smoke. The Washington Appletini and Smoking Blackberry Sage Margarita will soon be placed high on your list of crowd-pleasing cocktails. Fans of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter will have to check out the Crimes of Grindelwald Cocktail, too!

1. Vampire Cynar Negroni

With a classic negroni as the base of this cocktail, a few minor changes make it something new and worth tasting.

Switch out the vermouth for Cynar, an Italian digestivo, and add in some strawberry-infused Campari for extra berry flavors in your drink.

Set a rosemary sprig aflame, and add your dry ice at the very end for an extra special drink!

2. Love Potion #9 Martini

Dry ice is often used for Halloween drinks, but why not also use it for Valentine’s cocktails?

This fruity martini features strawberry vodka, black raspberry-infused Chambord, pomegranate juice, and a little bit of dry ice dropped in right before serving.

Small strawberries cut into hearts also add a beautiful touch as a garnish and will impress as much as the smoky drink!

3. Cave Of Wonders Cocktail

Starting with pineapple vodka, cherry liqueur, a bit of grenadine, and lemon-lime soda, you get such a refreshing cocktail that tastes as good as it looks!

A bit of dry ice adds a nice touch, reminiscent of Aladdin’s Cave of Wonders, from which this cocktail gets its name.

The first time you present this drink to a friend, dim the lights, so the presentation is much more incredible!

4. Poison Apple Cocktail

Not only is this bright green cocktail smokey from the dry ice, but it also glows in the dark!

All it takes is some Jones Cane Sugar soda in green apple flavor and a bit of vanilla vodka.

You know the kids will want some, so you can leave the vodka out of their drinks and still give them a drink to impress!

5. Smoking Lavender Blueberry Martini

The homemade blueberry lavender syrup used in this martini is much easier to make than you may think at first thought.

High-quality vodka combined with the simple syrup and a little dry ice makes your cocktail look like you worked all day on perfecting its appearance when in reality, you spent maybe ten minutes maximum if you have to prepare your simple syrup by hand.

As always, be careful when handling the dry ice for this drink.

You know the drink will be delicious but try to avoid taking the first sip until the dry ice has all dissolved.

6. Smoking Blackberry Sage Margarita

Even without the dry ice, this drink is scary good! This drink will be unforgettable, thanks to the tequila, blackberries, sage, maple syrup, and orange bitters.

If you leave out the dry ice, you can still give the presentation a little extra oomph by lighting a dried sage leaf on fire for your garnish.

7. Absolut Elyx Black Magic Martini

This black martini is not only picturesque but full of herbaceous, sweet, and tart flavors all in each indulgent sip.

The Absolut Elyx vodka is definitely high quality and upgrades this martini from simple to extraordinary.

A little bit of blackberry puree and thyme simple syrup works magic on bringing out the best of everything that goes into this drink!

9. Love Potion Cocktail

Not to be confused with the Love Potion #9 cocktail above, this is also a fruity and smokey drink but with a different list of ingredients!

This cocktail features pomegranate juice, cranberry juice, vodka, peach schnapps, and club soda, which combine to create a beautiful purple color that is totally mystifying.

Your cocktail will be both tart and sweet, with a nice balance of all the flavors that go into it!

10. The Witch’s Heart

Yes, this drink looks amazing, but the taste is what really sets it apart!

You can start off by making your own blackberry shimmery liqueur, but keep in mind this does take some planning ahead of time to let the flavors fully infuse.

When it’s time to serve, start with some grenadine to give it a “bleeding” look, and a little bit of powdered dry ice on top to add to the presentation.

11. La Llorona

The story of La Llorona has frightened children for years but this drink will only frighten you with how great it tastes!

Inspired by the traditional folklore, this is fitting for Halloween or Dia de Los Muertos but without the dry ice, it is a delicious drink to enjoy any time of year.

Fresh lemon and lime flavors are shaken together with Pisco brandy for an incredibly refreshing cocktail!

12. Vampire’s Kiss Cocktail (Vodka Martini)

While it has the same name as the drink listed above, this cocktail is very different since it excludes the red wine and cola soda and instead replaces it with Chambord, cranberry juice, and grenadine for a blood-red color.

The addition of a bit of dry ice adds to the awe you will get when you serve this drink, but even if you leave it out, the beautiful color that comes from mixing the ingredients will be enough to intrigue everyone.

13. Where There’s Smoke

It only seems fitting to include a cocktail with smoke in its name in this list of dry ice cocktails.
