Serves: 8-10
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
For the Punch:
- 4 cups lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite or 7-Up)
- 2 cups pineapple juice
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (optional, for creaminess)
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream (optional, for a creamy texture)
- 1/2 cup maraschino cherries , plus extra for garnish
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (toasted, optional for garnish)
- Food coloring (pink, yellow, and blue gel-based, optional for pastel layers)
Optional Add-ins:
- Rainbow sprinkles
- Mini marshmallows
- Whipped cream
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Base
- In a large punch bowl, combine the lemon-lime soda, pineapple juice, and orange juice. Stir gently to mix.
- If you prefer a creamy punch, stir in the coconut milk and/or scoop small portions of vanilla ice cream into the punch just before serving.
Step 2: Add Color (Optional)
- To create pastel layers, divide the punch base into three separate bowls.
- Add a few drops of pink, yellow, and blue food coloring to each bowl to achieve soft pastel hues.
- Pour the colored layers gently into the punch bowl or individual glasses, starting with the darkest color at the bottom and layering lighter colors on top.
Step 3: Garnish and Serve
- Add maraschino cherries, toasted shredded coconut, rainbow sprinkles, or mini marshmallows to the punch bowl for decoration.
- Serve the punch in clear glasses to showcase the beautiful colors. Top each glass with whipped cream and a cherry for an extra festive touch.
Tips for Success:
- Make it fizzy: Add the lemon-lime soda just before serving to keep the punch bubbly.
- Alcoholic version: For an adult twist, add a splash of vodka, rum, or coconut rum to the punch.
- Non-dairy option: Substitute coconut milk with almond milk or another plant-based alternative.
- Kid-friendly fun: Use bunny-shaped ice cubes or candy bunnies as garnishes for a playful touch.
