    Notes

    A few extra tips for the perfect drink:
    Always be careful when using dry ice. Use tongs and don't touch it directly.
    Adjust the amount of tonic water to your taste preference.
    Experiment with different garnishes like edible flowers or a sprig of rosemary for a unique twist.
    To enhance the spooky vibe, serve in dim lighting with themed decorations.
    This cocktail is sure to enchant and delight all your ghoulish guests! 👻🍹
