Instructions:
- In a large punch bowl, whisk together cream of coconut, pineapple juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently stir in the chilled lemon-lime soda to add a bubbly lift.
- Add scoops of softened vanilla ice cream on top; let it create a creamy, frothy layer as it begins to melt.
- Sprinkle shredded coconut over the surface for a snowy, festive look.
- Garnish with maraschino cherries or cranberries to add color and holiday flair.
- Serve immediately while cold and frothy for the best flavor and texture.
Variations
- Adults-Only Version: Add a splash of coconut rum or vanilla vodka for a spirited twist.
- Frozen Punch: Blend all ingredients with ice instead of soda for a slushy, frozen version.
- Citrus Touch: Replace half of the pineapple juice with orange juice for a tangier, fruitier punch.
- Dairy-Free Option: Use coconut milk ice cream to keep it creamy yet vegan-friendly.
Tips
- Chill the punch bowl or serving glasses beforehand to keep the drink colder longer.
- Add the ice cream just before serving to prevent dilution and maintain creaminess.
- Use crushed ice beneath the punch bowl when serving at a party to help it stay frosty.
- For extra holiday presentation, rim glasses with shredded coconut or fine sugar before pouring.
