Pin ItFestive Holiday Punch with Peppermint
This is such a fun punch to make for the holidays! You wouldn’t think creamy eggnog and peppermint ice cream would go together, but they do and make a very Christmassy combo.
Candy Cane Punch Ingredients
Crushed Candy Canes: A fun, decorative garnish that adds crunch and an extra peppermint boost.
Eggnog: Adds a creamy, rich base to the punch. Store-bought works perfectly for this recipe.
Peppermint Ice Cream: Brings a festive, minty flavor and helps to make the punch extra creamy and cold.
Peppermint Schnapps: Infuses the punch with a warm, minty kick, adding a bit of holiday spirit to each sip.
Club Soda: Provides a refreshing fizz that lightens the texture of the punch.
How to Make Candy Cane Punch
- Pour the eggnog and club soda into a punch bowl.
- Add in peppermint schnapps (or leave it out if you’re making a non-alcoholic punch)
- Scoop in 1/2 gallon candy cane ice cream.
- Garnish the punch bowl with candy canes.
- Wet the rim of the glasses and then dip into crushed candy canes to create a candy cane rim.
Non-Alcoholic Peppermint Punch
We all know Christmas is a time when we indulge in a tipple or two or three! If you want to make this a punch for kids, just leave out the peppermint schnapps! This punch is a great nonalcoholic alternative to boozy punches, so it really is crowd and kid-friendly!
Eden’s Recipe Tips
Serve right away after adding in the ice cream.
Leave out the booze if you’re serving it for kids.
Add in more or less peppermint schnapps.
Candy cane ice cream or peppermint ice cream both work.
Use a good quality eggnog from the store.
