Equipment

  • Large punch bowl or blender
  • Ice cream scoop
  • Ladle
  • Mixing spoon
  • Measuring cups
  • Serving glasses or cups

Method
 

Step 1: Chill Everything
  1. Before mixing, make sure your soda, juice, and coconut milk are well chilled — this keeps the punch frosty longer without needing excess ice.
Step 2: Combine the Creamy Base
  1. In a large punch bowl or blender, combine coconut milk, pineapple juice, and coconut extract. Stir or blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Add the Ice Cream
  1. Scoop the vanilla ice cream into the mixture — it will float and slowly melt, creating that frothy “snowball” effect.
Step 4: Pour in the Soda
  1. Gently pour lemon-lime soda over the mixture right before serving. Stir lightly to combine while keeping the fizzy bubbles intact.
Step 5: Serve
  1. Ladle into chilled glasses. Garnish with whipped cream, a sprinkle of coconut flakes, and a cherry or mint leaf for a festive finish.
  2. 💡 Pro Tip: For an extra fancy touch, rim your glasses with shredded coconut and white sugar before serving!
