Ingredients
2 cups pineapple juice
1 teaspoon almond extract
4 cups vanilla ice cream
3 cups ginger ale
1/2 cup fresh cranberries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Chill the pineapple juice and ginger ale in the fridge for a few hours before making the punch.
2. In a large punch bowl, combine the chilled pineapple juice with the almond extract. Stir gently to mix.
3. Scoop the vanilla ice cream into the bowl in small or large scoops, allowing it to float on top.
4. Slowly pour the ginger ale over the mixture to create a bubbly, snowy effect.
5. Garnish with fresh cranberries or rosemary sprigs if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Chill all liquids ahead to avoid needing extra ice that could dilute the punch.
Add the ice cream just before serving to maintain the frothy texture.
Substitute vanilla extract if almond extract is too strong for your taste.
