Ingredients:
1 can (12 oz) frozen orange juice concentrate
1 cup vanilla ice cream
3 cups cold water
1/2 cup ginger ale or lemon-lime soda (for fizz)
Directions:
In a large pitcher, combine the frozen orange juice concentrate and cold water. Stir well until the juice concentrate is fully dissolved.
Add the vanilla ice cream to the pitcher and stir gently to incorporate. The ice cream will create a creamy texture while the juice adds a refreshing tang.
Slowly pour in the ginger ale or lemon-lime soda for a fizzy and slightly tangy twist to the punch. Stir carefully to combine all the ingredients.
Taste and adjust the sweetness or creaminess as desired by adding more ice cream or soda.
Pour the punch into glasses, and serve immediately.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: Serve the punch chilled over ice for an extra refreshing experience. Garnish with orange slices or a cherry for a festive touch. It’s a great drink for outdoor events, brunches, or even casual weeknight gatherings.
Storage: If you have leftovers, store the punch in the refrigerator in an airtight container. However, it’s best served fresh, as the soda’s fizz may reduce over time. If you’re planning ahead, prepare the orange juice and ice cream base in advance, and add the soda just before serving to retain its effervescence.
