Description

This Peppermint Eggnog Punch is a festive and refreshing holiday drink that combines creamy peppermint ice cream, rich eggnog, ginger ale for fizzy sparkle, and a splash of rum. Garnished with candy canes and ice cream scoops, it's perfect for parties and gatherings, serving up holiday spirit in every sip.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 quart peppermint ice cream
  • 1 quart eggnog
  • 4 cans ginger ale, chilled (12 fl. oz. each)
  • 1 cup rum

Garnish

  • 16 - 24 small peppermint candy canes

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ice Cream Garnish: Line a small baking sheet or baking dish with plastic wrap. Scoop 2-3 round spoonfuls of peppermint ice cream onto the plastic wrap. Place the sheet in the freezer to chill and firm up the ice cream scoops for garnish.
  2. Soften Ice Cream and Mix: In a large bowl, stir the remaining peppermint ice cream until it softens and becomes easy to blend. Gradually incorporate the eggnog and rum, mixing well to combine the creamy base evenly.
  3. Combine with Ginger Ale: Transfer the ice cream mixture into a punch bowl. Gently stir in the chilled ginger ale to add a fizzy, refreshing element to the punch.
  4. Decorate with Candy Canes: Hang the small peppermint candy canes around the rim of the punch bowl to add a festive and decorative touch.
  5. Serve with Ice Cream Scoops: Float the reserved peppermint ice cream scoops on top of the punch just before serving to enhance the look and add extra creaminess. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • To keep the punch chilled longer at parties, prepare the ice cream scoops well in advance and store in the freezer until ready to serve.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum and increase ginger ale or use an extra cup of eggnog.
  • The carbonation in the ginger ale should be added last and stirred gently to preserve the fizziness.
  • Use peppermint candy canes that are small enough to hang easily on the punch bowl rim without slipping off.
