Ingredients for Baby Shower Blue Cloud Punch

  • Berry Blue Unsweetened Kool Aid Powdered Drink Mix
  • 7 Up Soda
  • 1 (46-ounce) bottle white cranberry juice
  • White Sugar
  • Vanilla Ice Cream

How to Make Baby Shower Blue Cloud Punch

  1. In a large (6-quart) punch bowl, combine 1 (1-quart) bottle 7-Up, 1 (46-ounce) bottle white cranberry juice, and 2 (0.16-ounce) packets of blue Kool-Aid drink mix powder. Stir well until the powder is completely dissolved.
  2. Add ¾ cup granulated sugar. Stir until dissolved. Taste and add more sugar, if needed, to your preferred sweetness.
  3. Gently place scoops (approximately 2-3 scoops per person depending on glass size) of vanilla ice cream evenly across the top of the punch. The ice cream will melt slowly, creating a beautiful, cloudy effect.
  4. Cover the punch bowl tightly with plastic wrap to preserve the 7-Up's carbonation (if preparing ahead). Add ice cream just before serving.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy the enchanting blue cloud effect!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
