NOTES

• You could add your favorite spirit to the mix, vodka or white rum work well here. You could also add hard cider if you don't want to use liquor.
• You can add dry ice to the big bowl, but be careful not to injest any and wait until it's all melted before drinking it.

Directions

Put it all together in a big bowl. Add your dry ice, grab a mug, and "Sistahhhs! Come, we fly!"
