Ingredients

1 ½ ounces* Midori
1 ½ ounces Cointreau or Triple Sec
1 ounce fresh lemon juice
1 cocktail cherry
1 small dry ice cube (optional)

WARNING
DRY ICE MAY BE USED IN THIS RECIPE

PLEASE SEE DRY ICE HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS BELOW BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO HANDLE DRY ICE.

Mix Midori, Cointreau, and lemon juice.

Add 2 handfuls regular ice cubes and stir until cold.

Strain the drink into a lowball glass. (whatever that is)

Use tongs to add dry ice (if using)

Garnish with a cocktail cherry.

DO NOT TOUCH THE DRY ICE WITHOUT PROTECTION.
Dry ice is a solid form of carbon dioxide, formed below 110 degrees Fahrenheit. For your safety, use thick gloves when handling it, and use tongs for dropping it into drinks. Holding it for more than 10 seconds is considered very dangerous.

DO NOT DRINK THE DRY ICE.
The ice cube will settle to the bottom of the drink and should disappear in about 5 minutes. If you are impatient you could technically take sips of the drink while the dry ice is at the bottom.

Break the dry ice into 1-inch chunks (if using): Do this as close to the time you’ll be serving the drinks as possible, though you can buy the dry ice a few hours in advance.

Start by dropping the plastic bag with the dry ice on the ground several times to allow it break into large chunks. Remember never to touch the dry ice with your bare hands! Put on goggles and gloves. Dropping it out of a third-story window is not reccomended but will achieve this effect faster.

Use a chisel to break the dry ice into smaller pieces using a screwdriver or ice pick. The ideal size is 1/2-inch to 1-inch chunks that are large enough to sink to the bottom of the drink, but small enough to disappear in a few minutes. Wrap the small chunks in a towel and place them in a cooler with the top off until you’re ready to serve the drinks. Do not place the dry ice in the freezer.

Add the dry ice: Using tongs (do not touch the dry ice!), add a 1/2-inch to 1-inch chunk of dry ice to the glass, which will sink to the bottom and immediately make a smoking effect. The ice cube will disappear in about 5 minutes. Do not drink the dry ice! Wait until the cube disappears before enjoying your drink (or you can take sips with the dry ice in the bottom).
