Notes

For the dry ice, please follow these handling instructions: Buy food-grade dry ice the day you plan to use it. Do not touch dry ice with your bare skin. Wear gloves and use tongs when handling.
As soon as you get home, drop the dry ice in its original sealed plastic bag on a hard surface to crush the ice. Place the bag in a cooler and cut open the plastic bag. Store the dry ice in the cooler with it cracked open to allow the carbon dioxide a place to escape. When it’s party time, add the dry ice to the pitcher or individual glasses before adding regular ice to ensure it sinks to the bottom. Only serve the sangria once it stops bubbling, which means the dry ice melted. You should never ingest dry ice in its solid state, but it’s fine once it’s melted. Use small pieces to prevent excessive bubbling.
