Peppermint Punch
Description
This Punch combines classic eggnog with scoops of peppermint ice cream, which melt into the drink to add creamy texture and peppermint flavor. Club soda or ginger ale adds effervescence that lightens the richness. Served cold with crushed candy canes sprinkled atop, the drink presents a balance of sweetness, mint, and slight carbonation.
The preparation simply involves combining all ingredients in a large bowl and serving in cups with the crushed candy canes as a festive topping. The ice cream provides both flavor and chilling without diluting the drink as ice might.
Make-ahead options include refrigeration if consuming within a few hours or freezing for longer storage, with partial thawing before blending to restore a smooth texture. Leftover punch can be frozen into popsicles, creating a minty frozen dessert alternative.
Ingredients
- 1 qt egg nog
- 1/2 gallon peppermint ice cream (we like Bluebell's)
- 1 L club soda or Ginger Ale
- candy cane optional topping, crushed
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
- If poured into cups, sprinkle crushed candy canes on top.
Notes
- Refrigerate the punch if consuming within a few hours to keep it fresh longer.
- For extended storage, freeze the punch; thaw partially before blending to serve.
- Leftover punch can be poured into popsicle molds and refrozen for a frozen summer snack.
