Notes

Always use fresh ingredients for the best flavor, especially fresh lemon juice.
Chill your glassware for an extra-cold serve. This drink isn't served with ice, so a cold glass will keep the drink colder for longer.
If using a caramel rim, make sure to chill that in the freezer. This helps it stay in place, and prevents it from dripping down the sides of the glass!
Use fresh ice. Ice that has been sitting in the back of the freezer for a while will begin to absorb scents from around it, so it's best to
Taste and adjust the sweetness or acidity as needed before serving. If making this drink for the first time, make sure it suits your preferences!
For a stunning presentation, try using a clear glass to showcase the beautiful color and the glitter in the cocktail.
Handle dry ice with EXTREME care! While it creates a stunning effect in cocktails and is safe for drink presentation (when NOT consumed), proper handling is absolutely crucial. Follow these guidelines for safe use:
Never handle dry ice with bare hands. Always use insulated gloves or tongs to avoid severe frostbite.
For cocktails, use only small pieces. Wait for complete evaporation before drinking. NEVER consume dry ice directly, it can be fatal.
Store dry ice in a well-ventilated area. Use a container with a loose-fitting lid to allow gas escape.
Avoid enclosed spaces for storage. Keep dry ice in larger, open areas to prevent dangerous CO2 buildup.
Never store in household freezers or refrigerators. The extreme cold can damage appliances.
Keep out of reach of children and pets at all times.
Protect surfaces from direct contact. Use the original packaging or an insulating layer when placing dry ice on any surface to prevent damage.
Allow for safe disposal. Let dry ice sublimate completely in a well-ventilated area. Never dispose of in sinks, toilets, or trash receptacles.
When transporting, ensure proper ventilation in your vehicle. Never transport dry ice in the passenger compartment.
If using for fog effects, ensure adequate room ventilation to prevent oxygen displacement.
