Baby Blue Punch

“I created this punch recipe when I went looking for a punch recipe for my Baby Shower. I really wanted blue punch because I was having a boy this time. The ice cream melts somewhat and turns the punch a beautiful baby blue color leaving frothy blue and white clouds floating on top. Everyone thought it tasted great and asked for the recipe. Its also very adaptable to your taste. The sky's the limit. Try any flavor or color of unsweetened drink mix in place of the blue.”

I just made this for a baby shower this weekend. I couldn't find white cranberry juice, and am not a fan of cranberry, so I took the advise in other's reviews. It was delicious! I would advice to skip the vanilla ice cream though - I looked horrible, esp after it had melted. The punch part was a big hit though!!

I made a punch similar to this one for my daughter's baby shower--only difference is that i couldn't find the white cranberry juice so i used white grape juice, and a batch with Old Orchards Apple Passion Mango juice (any clear juice will work) with excellent results! I got rave reviews--especially since i substituted a new, clean baby bathtub for the punch bowl. It was adorable!! After the shower she had a baby bathtub to use--double duty gift!! Everyone thought it was the cutest thing they had ever seen!

Very tasty loved by the kids. I will not add the ice cream if I make it again. It was pretty at first but then it turned chunky looking. But anyway it was good other than the ice cream.

I didn't think this punch would look like the picture and it was even cuter when I made it. I also didn't think the ice cream would be good on it, but it made it delicious!!

Very yummy - flavors work great together. It's also good without the ice cream if friends/fam don't like the 'foam' on top. :)

I made this for a boy baby shower at work and everyone loved it. It was easy, cute, and not too sweet. I couldn't find white cranberry juice so, I used 1/2 water and 1/2 white grape juice instead!

I just threw a baby shower this weekend and used this recipe with a few slight changes. I used a bottle of blue Hawaiian Punch because I am always super messy when it comes to any kind of powdered mix and this just seemed easier. I used white grape juice instead of white cranberry because I like it better. I used a generic brand lemon lime soda as the recipe called for, and I only used three not-quite-full scoops of ice cream and I stirred a little to encourage the ice cream to spread a little faster. The ice cream turned out really pretty and frothy just like a bubble bath. Added the small duckies last that I purchased from Oriental Trading, and the punch was super cute and got tons of compliments. Next time I think I will take the ducks out right before serving because they tipped over and then looked kinda gross floating sideways and covered in foam. The punch tasted delicious in my opinion. The white grape juice kind of overpowered everything else so to me it tasted like blue sparkling grape juice. But I really liked it anyway. You may just add the grapejuice a little more sparingly than I did if you aren't as big a fan... or try the cranberry instead.

My Mother in law made this punch for my baby shower and it was a complete and total hit! We had about 35 people and it was gone before the presents were all opened. The ice cream melted in just fine and we didn't have any weird separation of ice cream and punch but it did not have to set out for a long time. She followed the recipe exactly. I LOVE tart things and cannot stand the overly syrupy sweet fruit punched you usually find at showers and this was just sweet enough and just tart enough. I recommend it for anyone who is looking for something different.

I made this punch - with some modifications...I used the Blue Hawaiian Punch (which omitted the sugar, since it was already included in the pre-made punch), and used White Grape Juice. Pure satisfaction!! Thanks for the recipe...I'll use it in the future!

I just took this to a non-baby shower party and it was a huge hit! A nice break from pink punch - and even the men drank like fish. It wasn't too fruity or "girly". I did not add the ice cream or baby ducks (obviously).

I made this punch today for my sister's baby shower. I got rave reviews on this punch before it was served. Everyone loved the color and the rubber duck floating on top. The compliments stopped once the punch was served. Nobody had seconds. The taste was ok, but I've had better punch. I did not have a problem with the ice cream separating that others did. It looked great until the end of the bowl. We had 15 guests and this was just enough punch for us.

This punch is very cute and tasty; the only negative is that for our shower the yield was wrong. We had 24 guests exactly and we ran out of punch in about 30 minutes. I'd recommend doubling the recipe.

This was a great recipe! The mother to be and guests seemed impressed with the blue color and they all loved the ducks floating in the punch. !!!HOW CUTE!!! It was really easy to make just dump and stir. I did find that the sugar didn't want to dissolve that fast and the kool-aid did get a bit clumpy so you had to stir really good. So I think the next time I make this I would probably pour out half of the bottle of white cranberry juice into the punch bowl and then add the sugar and kool-aid packet into what is left in the bottle of juice and shake to dissolve the kool aid and the sugar better so that you don't take away from the (fizzy) carbonation of having to stir and stir the 7-UP along with everything else in the punch bowl. Once again, GREAT recipe and I was very pleased with the results!

Great recipe. I fixed this for my sister in laws shower and it was a big hit. I couldn't find the packet of drink mix, but I got a gallon of the hawaiian blue drink in the jug. I also couldn't find white cranberry juice so I used the white grape juice instead. Everyone enjoyed it!

This punch was absolutely fantastic! I made it for my cousin's baby shower and instead of white grape juice (couldn't find in the small town) I used pineapple juice. We went through several bowls of this punch and still had people asking for more when it was gone. I will be making this at my next big event. Thanks so much!
