Ingredients
  

  • 1 gallon tart cherry juice cold
  • 48 ounces cream soda cold
  • 1 cup Everclear more or less to taste
  • 4-5 scoops vanilla bean ice cream
  • frozen cherries more ice cream, and fresh mint for garnish

Equipment

  • Kitchen Knife
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 gallon tart cherry juice, 48 ounces cream soda, and 1 cup Everclear. Use a large spoon to gently stir the mixture until the ingredients are well combined. Look for a vibrant color that signals all the flavors are mingling beautifully.
  2. Next, add in 4-5 scoops of vanilla bean ice cream. As you drop the scoops in, watch them float and begin to melt slightly, creating a creamy swirl in the punch. The ice cream should blend seamlessly while still holding its shape.
  3. Now it’s time to toss in frozen cherries. Aim for about 1-2 cups. These cherries serve a dual purpose; they keep the punch cold and add a lovely pop of color. You’ll notice the cherries chilling the mixture instantly.
  4. Pour the punch into glasses, filling them generously. As you pour, the beautiful colors should create an inviting appearance. The creamy layer should be visible on top, making it even more enticing.
  5. Finally, top each glass with more ice cream and a few frozen cherries for garnish. Add a sprig of fresh mint to elevate the presentation. This final touch not only looks appealing but also adds a refreshing aroma.
  6. Enjoy the Party Punch Recipe with friends and family. Take a moment to appreciate the smiles on their faces as they savor this refreshing drink. It truly makes for an unforgettable gathering!
