Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, softened slightly
  • 6 cups orange juice, chilled
  • 2 liters ginger ale, chilled
  • Whipped cream, for topping optional
  • Orange slices, for garnish optional

Equipment

  • Large Punch Bowl
  • Ladle
  • Glasses
  • Spoon or spatula

Method
 

  1. Soften the orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream for 20-30 minutes before making the punch.
  2. In a large punch bowl, gently combine the softened orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream using a large spoon or rubber spatula. Avoid overmixing.
  3. Pour the chilled orange juice into the punch bowl and gently stir to incorporate it with the sherbet and ice cream. Be careful not to melt everything completely.
  4. Right before serving, slowly pour in the chilled ginger ale and gently stir to combine, being mindful not to stir out all the bubbles.
  5. Ladle the Orange Creamsicle Punch into glasses. If desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream and an orange slice for garnish. Serve immediately.

Notes

Add the ginger ale right before serving to maintain maximum fizz. If the punch is too sweet, reduce the amount of sherbet or ice cream, or use sugar-free ginger ale. You can prepare the base (sherbet, ice cream, and orange juice) a few hours ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. For a boozy version, add a splash of vodka or orange liqueur. For a festive look, add sprinkles. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator, but the punch may lose its fizz.
