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.”

Sorry, I deviated from the recipe: I used blue Hawaiian punch in place of the drink mix and ginger ale for the carbonated beverage. Turned out very well, not ridiculously sweet like I was fearing.

This was a hit at my shower. I used 1 2 liter Sprite, a pkg of Kool Aid (Flavor Ice Blue Raspberry lemonade) and white cranberry juice. I didn't have to add any sugar at all. I put a few scoops of mayfield vanilla ice cream on top and viola! Everyone was asking me what was in it and where the recipe was~

Great punch! It got rave reviews and the ice cream made a fantastic "cloud" over the top. Tips I learned from other reviews I would highly recommend: 1) don't use vanilla bean ice cream (it DOES leave little black flecks!), use regular plain vanilla, 2) couldn't find any white cranberry, so used white grape, 3) had a hard time finding blue drink mix, but finally found Hawaiian Punch Berry Blue Typhoon in single serve packets (use 3 packets). It was a fantastic addition to a Baby Boy Shower!

I made this punch for a baby shower. It went over really well. Everyone loved the rubber ducks! I used blue Hawaiian Punch as well instead of the blue drink mix and I used white grape juice instead of the white cranberry juice. The sugar is not needed when using an already sweetened drink such as Hawaiian Punch. I did not have any problems with the ice cream separating or looking gross. As it melted, it melted into the punch turning it a nice baby blue shade and giving the punch a little creamy flavor. Overall an excellent baby shower punch!

I make punch for any and every occasion that I can and this is by far my favorite! We used this punch for my baby shower and it was a hit! My husband loved it as well and he is extremely picky. We plan on making this for christmas with a red drink mix instead of the blue.

You have got to try this punch! I made it at my sis n laws baby shower and no one could stop drinking it! I should have made more. I couldn't find the blue drink mix so I used blue Hawaiian punch which means I also didn't add the sugar and I couldn't find white cranberry juice either so I went with white grape. I didn't follow measurements exactly either. I just added a little of each and tasted until I got it the way we liked it. I will be making again!!

I'm not much of a punch person but this was really tasty and very cute! I served it for my son's first birthday party with a pond theme of frogs and rubber ducks. I subbed white grape juice for the white cranberry. Everyone raved and it disappeared!

I give 5 stars for the idea because I really wanted to do a blue punch for a boy baby shower. However, I couldn't find blue Kool Aid or white cranberry juice so I used blue Hawaiian punch and soda. It worked out and looked great.

What a hit at my niece's baby shower! She loved the fact that we had used the baby ducks as shown in the picture. The punch really looks like a blue sky with white clouds, and the taste was amazing!

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!
