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.”

Love this punch. I have used it for several "baby girl" showers and use it for my daughters birthday every year. I use a packet of pink uunsweetend koolaid instead of the blue drink mix and it turns out great!!!! It is so easy and really tastes great. I always add less sugar than what it calls for and it still turns out tasting great! I highly recommend this for any party in any color!

Presentation is half of the game, I am using this recipe for my daughters baby shower, we believe she's having a little girl but little girls take bath's too and the rubber duck floating on the top is just the perfect touch.

I made this for my friends baby shower today, she's having a little boy and I just loved the idea of a blue punch. Well, so did everyone else! I had to refill the big 18 qt punch bowl I had in a matter of 15 minutes! It was a different taste and I would have never thought of using vanilla ice cream but it counteracts the tartness of the white cranberry juice. I would, however, recommend using the sugar that the recipe calls for unless you want to see your guests faces puckering up!

I made this punch for my daughter-in-law baby shower, everyone loved it. She is having a boy and so this was prefect. I froze the ice cream into balls and as they melted they look like soap. I also put the rubber ducks in the bowl, we were have rubber duck theme. Yummy.

I made this for my cousin's shower and everyone loved it. I used Hi C berry blast for the blue juice as I could not find the powder mix, but nonetheless it turned out great.

I used this recipe for my sister's baby shower, and it was a big hit. I have had several mishaps with punch in the past, but this recipe was easy and delicious! The kids loved the blue color.

This was a huge hit at my daughters baby shower. She was having a girl so I had to change up a few things to make it pink. I did leave out the sugar because I used White Cranberry Peach juice instead of just the white cranberry and I used strawberry crystal light instead of koolaide. It was wonderful. Everyone just raved about it!

This punch was a hit at my best friend's baby shower. I am also going to use it at mine. I think the 1 cup of sugar is a must...it helps kill the tartness. Make sure you have plenty...you will go through it quickly...yummy!

This tasted great, but the color didn't turn out well for me and the bowl looked dirty even though I used regular vanilla (not vanilla bean) ice cream. Not sure how to get that great blue color. Will try again though.

I made this yesterday for a baby shower, however, I did make a few changes mostly because I couldn't find the ingredients needed. I could not find the blue drink mix, so I instead used a jug of the Blue Hawaiian Punch, the lemon lime soda and then white grape juice because I could not find white cranberry juice. Everyone loved it!!! And it was so cute with the ducks floating in it. **I've since made this for Halloween using the green Hawaiian punch and floated those black plastic spider rings in it. Too cute!**

It tasted GREAT! And it was very easy to make. The blue color works great for a baby boy shower. I will use this recipe again, and in fact gave it to a friend to use.

We recently made this for my baby shower, I am expecting a boy and didn't want pink punch! Everyone loved it! I was pleased at how beautiful it turned out! The ice cream looked like fluffy clouds on top! So cute and it was absolutely delicious!

Throwing a baby shower for one of my best friends I was looking all over for a blue punch to go with our all blue theme. I came across this one and will admit I was a little skeptical...using ice cream in a punch??? This was one of the best punch recipes I have ever tasted. Everyone was raving about it. We went through 2 bowls of the punch for about 20 people. This is a great, SUPER easy recipe!!

Made this today for a baby shower, I followed the directions word for word. Mixed all the liquids and powder, and then tasted. The sugar was needed, as it tasted very tart without it. The punch turned out a very vibrant blue color, and when I added the vanilla ice cream it turned a very pretty baby blue color. The punch in no way looked "gross" or anything with the ice cream on top. Everyone really enjoyed this punch, and many asked for the recipe...and were surprised it was made with Kool-Aid.
