The kids love the frothy top of this sweet tasty drink.

I have to keep extra ingredients on hand because by the mid-point of every birthday party the girls will have emptied the bowl and I’ll need to make a second batch.

And I can’t believe how easy it is to make.

Since it’s a non-alcoholic punch, it’s the perfect drink for baby showers, backyard BBQs, or any kids’ summer parties. For bridal showers, you may want something with a little more kick 😉.


But first, Make an Ice Ring

I really recommend making an ice ring for your summer punch. An ice ring will melt much more slowly than cubed ice and will keep your delicious punch cold longer while it’s sitting out.

One of the guests at our recent birthday party even asked my girls where they got the neat ice ring. She thought we’d bought it!

It will also not water it down as much as cubed ice would.

You’ll be surprised how much of the ring is still left after the punch is gone.

Making an ice ring is no more difficult than filling a bunt cake pan with water and freezing it.

Do this the night before as you’ll need several hours for the ice to set.

When ready, just run the bunt cake pan under warm water and release the ice ring.

Pro tip: I find it best to place your ice ring in your bowl before adding the rest of the ingredients. That way, you’re sure not to splash punch all over yourself and your pretty party outfit.

The best recipe for summer punch

Ingredients

This punch is a simple combination of:

  • 2 2L bottles of Ginger Ale (I prefer Canada Dry)
  • 1 1.5L bottle of any kind of authentic tropical Juice or nectar or any combination of fruit juices (Pineapple Mango; orange mango, pineapple orange mango, passion fruit, guava, etc.)
  • 1.5qt tub of Vanilla ice cream

Sometimes I have trouble finding tropical juice that’s actually juice or nectar and not just disgusting, sugary/watery liquid made from concentrate.

So please, no Hawaiian punch.

I look for orange juice combined with some tropical flavor like mango or add some other juices like pineapple.

The juice you’ll want will most likely be in the refrigerated section of your grocery store. For this last party, I used a mix of 1/2 orange mango juice and 1/2 pineapple juice and it was delicious.

When you add the ice cream the punch will get a yummy frothy top.
