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.”

Hard to find "baby boy" punch recipes. I had a LOT leftover from one batch, so it wasn't a huge hit at our shower. Everyone did comment on the pretty color though. Personally, I wasn't crazy about the texture or consistency of melting ice cream in the punch.

I gave this to my future mother-in-law to make for my future sister-in-law last weekend for her baby shower. (my wedding is way in the future!) It was a big hit! I think there was only a cup or two left. The mom-to-be really liked it, too, because she loves rubber duckies! Great flavor and very pretty color for presentation!

Followed the recipe exactly and it was great! Made it for a boy baby shower, and several people at that shower have called me for the recipe to use at a boy baby shower they were throwing. Thanks for the fabulous blue punch!

Who needs soda??? Made this for my daughter's graduation/luau/pool party and her guests loved it. Even floated a hawaiian duck in it, her friends thought it was the cutest thing. Great Recipe...Thanks!!

Like several others have posted, I could not find white cranberry juice, so substituted white grape juice instead, which turned out great. I did not use any sugar, but I think the next time I will put at least 1/4 cup. However, a full cup would be too sweet for my taste. Even without the sugar, we went through two batches! Wonderful receipe and was perfect for the baby boy shower that I made it for! The rubber ducky floating on top is a must!

I made this punch for a baby shower this past weekend, and everyone loved it. They thought it was the cutest thing in the world. I floated little mini "career" ducks on the top. It was really good and definately broke the ice and got people talking. I will for sure make this again.

This was great and the guests for the party went through two batches of this. Our other drinks were untouched. We did NOT add any sugar, and used red kool-aid instead of blue since the party was honoring a baby girl. The punch tasted great without any sugar, and couldn't imagine needing any.

it was good and soooo easy. i make fruit juice ice rings. and used whitecrangrape bc that is all they had. i did not add the extra sugar. it was all gone in a flash and there were plenty of other drinks. i made mine green bc it was a garden party and i think that was not good. i got a few negative comments about the color, eg. green slime, snot, etc. anyway, maybe for a little boys party but not green for grown ups.

I just made this for my daughter's baby shower. People said it was good, but I didn't see many people drinking it. I went by the recipe, and the final cost (including rubber duck) was $10 for one fill. We tossed most of it in the end. I loved the idea of this punch, but if no one drinks it why make it again.

I served this at my daughters baby shower! It was a great hit and everyone loved the duckies floating around in the fountain... I actually served it without trying it before hand because we liked the "blue" punch. Everyone loved it and I will definately use this recipe again! Thanks for sharing it with us!

I used this recipe at my daughter's baby shower. It was a hit! I used white grape juice in place of the white cranberry juice. I didn't need to add any additional sugar. Wait to put it together right before or after the guests arrive. By the time the shower is over, the ice cream has melted and it doesn't look so pretty, but it still tastes good!

In looking for a punch recipe for my daughter's birthday party, I came across this one. We experimented today and it was great! Being a girl, we wanted pink, and the only red flavor we could find was black cherry. I paired this with pineapple juice and gingerale. By itself it was just ok, but adding the vanilla icecream made it absolutely wonderful... we just couldn't get enough! I'm looking forward to making it for my daughter's party on Saturday. Thanks for sharing!

I made this for a shower and it was a hit. After hitting 6 different grocerie stores to find the right ingredients, i finally found everything. Next time I'll just substitute. I was just asked for this recipe again today for a girl.

Turned out just the right color. Good recipe, not too sweet, not too tart. Would make again experimenting with different colors.

this punch was great. I could not find blue kool-aid or blue Hawaiian Punch so I used Blue Raspberry Mix for Martinis! It was perfect and I did not have to add any sugar. The ducks looked very cute too.

This was so yummy. I halved the recipe and put one scoop of ice cream in each tall glass and then poured the rest of the punch over like a float. It was pretty and delicious!

I made this punch for a baby shower only we went to 4 stores and could find every color of drink mix BUT blue! So we went with a red. We got RAVES for it!!! The only thing is that after a while the ice cream kinda turned into a scummy layer and the red punch separated from juice- not appetizing to look at in the glass (hence the 4 stars). I would suggest you make it in a half batch and store the rest in the fridge for refills. This was GREAT!!!!
