Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 scoops strawberry ice cream
- 1/2 cup strawberry lemonade
- 1/2 cup lemon-lime soda
- Mini marshmallows (optional)
- 1 Marshmallow Peeps Bunny (optional)
- Pastel sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Place two scoops of strawberry ice cream in a glass. Ensure the glass is large enough to accommodate all ingredients without overflowing when the soda creates fizz.
- Add the Lemonade: Pour strawberry lemonade over the ice cream. The cold lemonade will begin to slightly melt the ice cream, creating a creamy, flavorful base for your punch.
- Incorporate the Soda: Slowly add the lemon-lime soda to the glass. Pour gently along the side of the glass to minimize excessive fizzing. The carbonation will create a delightful effervescence that complements the sweet strawberry flavors.
- Add Festive Toppings: Top your Easter Punch with mini marshmallows, a Peeps bunny, and pastel sprinkles if desired. These whimsical additions not only enhance the visual appeal but also add textural elements to the drink.
Notes
- For a large batch serving approximately 12-15 people: Combine one carton (59 ounces) of strawberry lemonade, a two-liter bottle of lemon-lime soda, and top with a half gallon of strawberry ice cream in a large punch bowl.
- For a less sweet version, use vanilla ice cream instead of strawberry.
- This drink works well for other holidays too—simply change the color scheme and toppings to match the occasion.
- Serve immediately after preparation for the best taste and presentation.
- For an adult version, you can add a splash of vodka or champagne to individual servings.
