How to Make The Unicorn Punch Drink Step by Step!
1. Add Ice Cream Scoops to Clear Punch Bowl
You’ll want to make this unicorn punch float when your guests are ready to consume (not too far ahead). Because of the ice cream- it can melt quickly.
To help everything stay cool (longer) be sure to pre chill your lemon lime soda and pink lemonade completely in the refrigerator before making. You can even chill your punch bowl in the freezer ahead of time (if it’s a glass punch bowl). This will help everything stay nice and cold and not melt as quickly!
Pull out the 2 pints of cotton candy flavored ice cream out of the freezer. Make rounded scoops of all two pints and put them into a clear class punch bowl.
PRO-TIP! If you’ve always wondered how to make perfectly rounded ice cream scoops…it’s all about the scoop. This style of ice cream scoop gives your perfectly rounded scoops or spheres that stay colder longer and don’t melt as quickly.
2. Add Pink Lemonade
Add 2 cups of chilled pink lemonade to the punch bowl.
3. Add Lemon Lime Soda
