Unicorn Punch
Unicorn punch is a magical party drink for all ages that’s bursting with pastel colors and sweet, bubbly lemon lime flavor. This pretty pink punch comes together in minutes and is guaranteed to be the hit of any party!
I’m a boy mom through and through so I never got to throw over the top girly birthday parties for a sweet little one.
But if I did, you can bet I’d whip up this pretty pink unicorn punch.
At least that’s what I thought as I set about creating this fantastical punch.
With its bright, bubbly pink base and clouds of pastel blue and pink cotton candy ice cream, this magical drink will delight unicorn lovers of all ages.
And its combination of pink lemonade, lemon lime soda, and cotton candy flavors is almost as magical tasting as it is looking.
Dress it up with fun sprinkles and every glass feels extra special!
Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Lemon lime flavored soda– Like Sprite or 7-Up.
- Pink lemonade– You can buy it premade or make the powdered kind.
- Cotton candy ice cream– Your favorite brand. If you don’t want to use cotton candy ice, substitute blue ice cream and pink ice cream flavors instead. Blue Moon or Blue Raspberry would work for the blue part and Strawberry or Bubblegum would do for the pink.
- Cotton candy– Preferably a mix of blue and pink.
- Sprinkles– You can really have fun with your selection here. Rainbow sprinkles that you can find in the grocery store would be cute or you can take a trip to the baking aisle of your local craft store and buy things like gold star sprinkles or glitter dust. There are also unicorn sprinkle blends available at hobby stores.
How to Make
Unicorn punch is magically easy to make!
Just scoop scoops of ice cream onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
Freeze the tray of ice cream scoops for 2 hours or until the scoops are all frozen solid.
When you are ready to serve, gently stir together the soda and pink lemonade in a punch bowl.
Add the frozen scoops of ice cream to the punch group.
Ladle the punch into glasses and garnish each cup with cotton candy and festive sprinkles.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Storing
Once you scoop the ice cream into the punch, it won’t save for very long as the ice cream will melt into the lemonade soda base.
Tips and Tricks
- Because this punch doesn’t save well, I’d only make what you plan to serve.
- This punch is so pretty that it really shines in a clear plastic punch cup so the pastel colors are really on display. You could also use rainbow or pastel cups or even unicorn themed ones.
- Want an extra fun garnish? Serve each cup with a rainbow stick lollipop “horn.”
