Description
This White Christmas Punch is a creamy, sparkling holiday drink made with vanilla ice cream, milk, and lemon-lime soda. Topped with sugared cranberries, it’s festive, family-friendly, and can be spiked for the grown-ups. Perfect for Christmas brunch, dessert tables, or cozy nights in.
Ingredients
2 cups vanilla ice cream
1 cup milk
2 cups lemon-lime soda
0.5 cup fresh cranberries
2 tablespoons coarse sugar or sparkling sugar
optional 2 ounces rum or vodka
Instructions
1. Let the vanilla ice cream soften slightly, then place it in a large bowl or blender with the milk. Blend until smooth.
2. Gently stir in the lemon-lime soda to preserve its fizz.
3. Roll the cranberries in coarse or sparkling sugar and let them set for a frosty look.
4. Pour the punch into glasses or a large punch bowl and top with sugared cranberries.
5. Add rum or vodka to taste if serving for adults.
6. Keep the punch chilled using a tray of ice or frozen punch cubes to avoid dilution.
Notes
Freeze extra punch in ice cube trays to keep your drink cold without watering it down.
Always add soda just before serving to maintain the bubbles.
Swap vanilla ice cream for coconut or berry sherbet for a fun flavor twist.
