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 have made this punch at all my babyshowers. It is very sweet, I suggest cutting the sugar down to 1/2 or 3/4 cup, and I used white grape juice instead of cranberry. Also you can use a pink kool-aid like cherry or strawberry for a girl!

I thought this punch was very tasty. I ended up using white grape juice because I couldn't find white cranberry juice. If I make it again, I will either find white cranberry juice or maybe do a mix of grape juice and pineapple juice. I thought that the grape juice didn't provide enough contrast of flavor. Still, it tasted great and it was so cute. I got a lot of compliments on the punch.

I made this for my sister's Baby Boy Shower. It was fabulous. I went through half a recipe before the shower got started. Everyone really liked it. F.Y.I. I don't like blue koolaid or punches, but I loved this one. It wasn't as blue as the picture shows (more like a powder blue).

I made this punch for a baby shower for my daughter. I followed the recipe exactly and it was perfect. Everyone loved it. I served it in a fountain punch bowl and floated rubber duckies in it - It was so cute.

I finally got to make this punch that has been in recipe box for long! It was great tasting with a cute presentation. I used white grape juice instead of the white cranberry since that is all I could find.

I made this today for a baby shower and went thru 4 batches of it! Some adjustments though. Used a liter of Sprite, a 64 oz. jug of white grape juice, 2 packets of Berry Blue Kool Aid Mix, and used pineapple sherbet on top instead of ice cream. Everyone LOVED it! I put rubber duckies with swim rings around them on top and it was so cute!!

made this for a babyshower and everyone loved it. made it according to the recipe and got rave reviews. Although it started looking weird, as other reviews said, it was still a great punch and a great display in the beginning:)

I made this for a co-worker's grandma-to-be shower. I used blue Hawaiian punch, white grape juice, and Sprite. It was a big hit and the vanilla ice cream gave it a nice creaminess. It also made for a great presentation with little froggies floating in the bowl.

Delicious! We made it for my sister's baby shower and it turned out nice. We used blue flavored drink, apple juice, 7up, and vanilla ice cream. Everyone loved it and it looked really cool!

I was making this punch for a little girl baby shower, so I took the suggestions of previous users and used Strawberry Kool-Aid and Cran Strawberry juice. It turned almost a red color but the froth on top was pink. It tasted really good, but because it was so sweet, most people did not drink it. Though I did have someone ask me for the recipe. The best thing about this recipe is that it is soooo easy to make. I had a few people comment that the ducks looked like slices of lemons, though they were ducks with baby diapers and pacifiers. I would suggest that you use colored ducks.

This punch was a big hit at the baby boy shower I threw. 2 changes: (1) I used the blue Hawaiian Punch (cheap - about $2 for giant jug) and I agreed with another reviewer that sherbet goes much better with punch, so (2) I used pineapple sherbet. Since it's white, it worked well to make the froth on top. The pineapple flavor worked well with the blue Hawaiian Punch. Would definitely make again with those changes.

This recipe worked well, and people seemed to like it. I could not find blue drink mix, I didn't read other reviews about using Blue Hawaiian Punch, I wish I did. I used Blue Rasberry Martini Mix, it did work but it didn't add much flavor.

This was a very fun punch for a Boy Baby Shower I gave for a friend. Everyone loved the color and the duck floating in the middle was adorable. It was pretty sweet though so I probably would have cut back on the sugar a little.

I made this any it turned out great... the only thing is that once the ice cream melted it blended into the liquid and it started to look unappealing. Overall it was a hit and tasted good..

only 3 stars- there was punch left over and I don't think we will be drinking it. Just so-so. I made this for a girl using strawberry kool-aid and white cran/strawberry juice. The vanilla flavor was odd and looked all gloopy on the top.

I have used this punch numerous times for different themed parties. As a blue punch, it works well for luau and beach parties. For baby showers where the gender of the baby is unknown, I have made a bowl of blue and a bowl of pink (using pink koolaid). Wonderfully flexible, delicious, and always a big hit!
