Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1 cup coconut milk or cream of coconut
- 2 cups pineapple juice, chilled
- 2 cups ginger ale, chilled
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
- Maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Blend the Pineapple Base: In a blender, combine the crushed pineapple and coconut milk. Blend until smooth.
- Mix the Punch: In a large punch bowl or pitcher, combine the pineapple-coconut mixture with the pineapple juice. Stir to mix well.
- Add the Ginger Ale and Ice Cream: Slowly pour in the chilled ginger ale, stirring gently to preserve the fizz. Scoop the vanilla ice cream into the punch bowl, allowing it to float and melt slightly for a creamy effect.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle shredded coconut on top for a snowy appearance. Add maraschino cherries for a festive touch if desired. Serve immediately in glasses or punch cups and enjoy the tropical flavors with a creamy twist!
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the vanilla ice cream with coconut sorbet or another dairy-free option.
- Make sure to serve this punch immediately to preserve the fizz from the ginger ale.
- If you like a thicker consistency, add more ice cream to the punch.
