Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Blend the Creamy Base

Start by combining the following ingredients in a blender:

• Strawberry milk
• Vanilla ice cream
• Heavy cream
• Pineapple juice

Blend on medium-high speed until everything becomes smooth and creamy.

The mixture should resemble a strawberry milkshake with a pale pink color and thick texture.

Taste the mixture before moving to the next step.

If you prefer a sweeter drink, add 1–2 tablespoons of sugar and blend briefly again.

2. Adjust the Consistency

Before adding the soda, check the texture of the mixture.

You want a pourable milkshake consistency.

If the mixture is too thick, add:

• A splash of strawberry milk

Blend briefly until smooth.

If the mixture is too thin, add:

• A small scoop of vanilla ice cream

Blend again until it thickens slightly.

Getting the consistency right is important because it helps the punch support whipped cream toppings.

3. Add the Soda

Pour the blended mixture into a large pitcher.

Slowly add 1 cup of lemon-lime soda.

Gently stir once or twice.

Do not stir too much. Overmixing will remove the carbonation and reduce the bubbly effect.

Taste the punch. If you’d like more fizz, add additional soda gradually.

The soda adds:

• Light carbonation
• A refreshing taste
• A fun “float” texture

4. Assemble the Glasses

Choose tall clear glasses for the best presentation.

Fill each glass about three-quarters full with the punch mixture.

Leaving space at the top allows room for decorations and toppings.

If serving outdoors in warm weather, you can add a few ice cubes, though this is optional.

5. Add the Toppings

Now comes the most fun part — decorating your Easter Bunny Punch.

Top each glass with:

1. A generous swirl of whipped cream
2. Pastel Easter sprinkles
3. A few mini marshmallows

Next, gently press a bunny peep into the whipped cream so it stands upright.

Finally, insert a paper straw beside the peep.

Serve the punch immediately while it’s cold, creamy, and slightly fizzy.
