Ingredients




1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
2 quarts cider
2 (6 oz.) cans orange juice concentrate
1 quart ginger ale
Special equipment:
1 large black plastic cauldron (available at party or craft stores)
1 punch bowl that fits inside the cauldron
1 block dry ice (available at supermarkets, ice cream shops or ice companies)

Preparation

1 Heat sugar, spice, and 1 cup cider just until sugar melts. Add remaining cider; mix well. Cool. Add cold ale just before serving. 2 To prepare the cauldron: 3 Wearing heavy duty gloves or using tongs, place the block of dry ice in the bottom of the cauldron. Note: Dry ice will burn your skin, so handle it with gloves and tongs and keep it away from kids! 4 If necessary, use an ice pick to break the block into smaller chunks. 5 Fill the cauldron with just enough water to cover the dry ice. It will begin to "fog." 6 Place the punch bowl inside the cauldron, on top of the dry ice. 7 Carefully pour the drink mixture into the punch bowl. Use a ladle to serve.
