Ingredients
- 1 (32 oz) bottle cranberry nectar (or cranberry juice)
- 1 (12 oz) jar seedless red raspberry jam
- 1.5 (2-liter) bottles lemon-lime soda, chilled
- 1.75 quarts vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Combine Cranberry Nectar and Raspberry Jam: In a large punch bowl, pour the entire bottle of cranberry nectar. Add the jar of seedless red raspberry jam and stir thoroughly until the jam is fully incorporated and evenly distributed.
- Add Lemon-Lime Soda: Slowly pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda to the punch bowl, stirring gently to mix without losing too much carbonation.
- Incorporate Vanilla Ice Cream: Add the 1.75 quarts of vanilla ice cream on top of the punch. The ice cream will slowly melt, creating a creamy, frothy texture throughout the punch, enhancing its festive appearance and flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Ladle the punch into glasses and serve immediately to enjoy the frothy, creamy texture at its best.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic treat, this punch is perfect for all ages.
- You can substitute raspberry jam with strawberry or cherry preserves for a slightly different flavor.
- If you prefer a less sweet punch, use diet lemon-lime soda or reduce the amount of raspberry jam.
- Make sure to chill the lemon-lime soda before adding to retain the fizz in the punch.
- This recipe is best served fresh and not stored for a long time as the soda will lose its carbonation.
