Items Needed:

• ½ gal. lime sherbet
• 2 bottles (750 ml. each) sparkling wine, chilled

• 1 cup green Crème de Menthe liqueur
• Dry ice, as needed (use large chunks so it won't be swallowed accidentally)

Directions:
Place the half-gallon block of lime sherbet in a large punch bowl and cut into quarters; as it melts, it will form a foamy "slime" on top. Pour in the sparkling wine, vodka and Crème de Menthe; stir to blend. Using tongs (do not handle the dry ice with hands), add the dry ice chunks as needed to create vapors exuding from the punch.
