Is it safe to drink the water when I mixed it with dry ice?
Not until the dry ice is completely gone!

Carbonation
Dry ice, being frozen CO2 gas, can be used to carbonate water to create
sparkling water. Place some drinking water in a glass, and add some dry ice.
Allow it to bubble. Water ice may form around the dry ice. If this happens you
can either leave it alone, or break it up with a spoon to help the process
along. When all of the dry ice is gone, taste the water that remains. It
should taste slightly carbonated.

Dry Ice Safety
If you ever have a chance to handle dry ice, you want to be sure to wear heavy
gloves. The super-cold surface temperature can easily damage your skin if you
touch it directly. For the same reason you never want to taste or swallow dry
ice either.
Another important concern with dry ice is ventilation. You want to make sure
the area is well-ventilated. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air and it can
concentrate in low areas or in enclosed spaces (like a car or a room where dry
ice is sublimating). Normal air is 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen and only 0.035%
Carbon Dioxide. If the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air rises above
5%, carbon dioxide can become toxic. Be sure to ventilate any area that
contains dry ice, and do not transport it in a closed vehicle.
