Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

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

Garnish

  • 1624 small peppermint candy canes (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ice Cream Garnish: Line a small baking sheet or baking dish with plastic wrap. Scoop 2-3 round scoopfuls of the peppermint ice cream onto the plastic wrap. Place the baking sheet with the scoops in the freezer to set and use later as garnish.
  2. Soften Ice Cream: In a large bowl, stir the remaining peppermint ice cream until it is softened and easy to mix, ensuring a smooth punch texture.
  3. Mix Eggnog and Rum: Gradually stir in the quart of eggnog and 1 cup of rum into the softened ice cream mixture until well combined.
  4. Add Ginger Ale: Transfer the combined mixture to a punch bowl and gently stir in the chilled ginger ale, creating a fizzy, creamy punch.
  5. Garnish Punch Bowl: Hang the peppermint candy canes around the edge of the punch bowl for a festive decoration.
  6. Serve with Ice Cream Scoops: Float the reserved peppermint ice cream scoops over the top of the punch for a decorative and flavorful touch, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum and add an extra can of ginger ale.
  • Use fresh peppermint candy canes for best flavor and presentation.
  • Ensure the ice cream scoops are well-frozen before serving to keep the punch cool and attractive.
  • This punch is best served immediately to retain the fizz of the ginger ale.
  • Adjust rum quantity to taste depending on preferred strength.
