Ingredients for Peppermint Punch recipe.

Tips + Storing Info

The ice cream should be softened, but not melted. Let it sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes until you can make a dent in the ice cream with your finger. Do not microwave as it is not reliable.

FOR MAKING AHEAD, if you are going to drink it within a few hours make it last later a little longer by putting it in the fridge. For longer storage go ahead and STORE it in the freezer. When you’re ready to drink it thaw it enough to be placed in the blender. 

Another thing you can do with leftovers of this Peppermint Punch is to pour it into a popsicle mold. FREEZE and you’ll have a frozen summer snack.

    This drink is so delicious and perfect for holiday parties! I love the added peppermint, even the non eggnog fans liked this punch!

  2. 5 stars
    My family thinks I am so weird because I love adding ginger ale to eggnog. Adding peppermint ice cream is excellent!

  3. 5 stars
    I am all for drinks that don’t require a lot of ingredients! This is so good! Love the little pieces of peppermint crunch!
