Dry ice smoking cocktails is a tough one. As far as I understand, smoking drinks were fairly popular back in the day. In every instance I've ever seen them, they were in special bowls that usually had some kind of opening on either three or four sides that did not connect to the main "bowl" portion where the cocktail was poured. The dry ice was then placed in these openings, and some water was added which caused the smoking effect. You could create this still provided you had the right type of bowl. In other words, you don't just want to throw dry ice in your drink. I think it was bigbrotiki that sold a dry ice bowl (as I call them) on ebay a month or so ago and it sold for huge bucks. I make a seasonal punch (poison) on halloween with the dry ice smoking effect. I mix up the punch in one bowl, than place that bowl in a larger bowl. Then I fill the larger bowl, around the smaller bowl about 1/2 full with dry ice, then fill the rest with cool water. Then I add jello moais with candy worms inside them and let them float around on the water. It looks like a creepy swamp type of a deal. It's a very cool effect.
