Ingredients
6 cups lemon-lime soda (or ginger ale for extra fizz)
2 cups peppermint ice cream (or vanilla with crushed candy canes)
1 cup cranberry juice (for color + tartness)
½ cup crushed candy canes (plus extra for garnish)
Fresh cranberries and mint leaves (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
1. Chill all liquid ingredients in the refrigerator before making the punch.
2. In a large punch bowl, combine lemon-lime soda and cranberry juice.
3. Gently stir in scoops of peppermint ice cream until frothy and creamy.
4. Sprinkle crushed candy canes on top for extra flavor.
5. Garnish with fresh cranberries, mint leaves, or whole candy canes as stirrers.
6. Serve immediately in festive glasses.
Notes
For a less sweet version, use unsweetened cranberry juice.
Make it a cocktail by adding vodka or peppermint schnapps.
Serve in a chilled glass rimmed with crushed candy canes for extra flair.
Best enjoyed fresh—prepare right before serving.
