Ingredients

Creamy Base

1 cup Peppermint Syrup Adds a sweet and minty flavor; use homemade mint extract for a fresher taste.
4 scoops Ice Cream (vanilla or peppermint) Creates a delightful, creamy texture; swap it out with dairy-free ice cream for a vegan option.

Fizz

4 cups Soda Water or Cream Soda Provides a bubbly contrast; lemon-lime soda can also give it a unique twist.

Garnish

1/2 cup Crushed Peppermint Candy Offers a festive crunch and visual appeal; can be replaced with crushed chocolate mint candies if preferred.

Begin by gathering a large, clean punch bowl or beverage jar. Ensure it’s free of any residues.

Top each glass with a generous scoop of vanilla or peppermint ice cream.
Sprinkle crushed peppermint candy over the top of the ice cream.
Serve immediately garnished with a spoon and a straw.
