Blue Baby Shower Punch

Recipe #114506 | 10 min | 10 min prep | add private note

Posted in response to a request for pastel blue punch on the boards a long while back, I figured I should probably go ahead and post this one officially so the recipe wouldn't get lost. Pink punch is easy enough to make, for little girls, but blue is a bit more elusive.

SERVES 16 -18 , 1 batch (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 (1/4 ounce) package unsweetened Kool-Aid powdered drink mix, powder (amount in package varies on the type used, could be anywhere between .15 to .25 ounce)

  • 3/4 sugar
  • water, according to Kool-Aid directions

  • 1 (10 ounce) can frozen Pina Colada mix (thawed)

  • 1 (2 liter) bottle 7-Up soda or Sprite (to taste)
  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix together the Kool-aid, water, and sugar according to the package directions.
  2. 2
    In a punchbowl, combine the prepared Kool-aid, thawed Pina Colada mix, and 7-Up or Sprite.
  3. 3
    Add scoops of vanilla ice cream.
  4. 4
    Serve and enjoy!
  5. 5
    Note #1: the Kool-aid company changes it's flavors and colors all the time, so you'll need to investigate what is available when you're making your punch; past flavors/color combinations that worked were Berry Blue and Raspberry Reaction.
  6. 6
    Note #2: if you make up some ahead of time, you can also freeze a ring of prepared Kool-aid and put it in the punch bowl, or make ice cubes with it and add them into the punch.
  7. 7
    Note #3: folks have asked me what the Pina Colada mix is for, so I thought I should add it to the recipe. :) It's to make the punch a pastel color, rather than bright blue. It's up to you whether or not you use it, but I think it's tasty!

So cute and delicious! I've made this several times for showers. You can also use other floaty items depending on your theme. frogs, angels, etc. or use a pink colored kool-aid and add floaty pigs. Too cute!

    Perfect for the baby shower I just hosted! It was a hit and everyone wanted the recipe. I used pineapple sherbert rather than ice cream. Also would recommend not making large batches at a time because the kool aid/sugar/sherbert or ice cream starts to almost gel after awhile. BUT....PERFECT for a little boys shower!

    This was such a cute idea for a baby shower and delicious too. I made as written except I used pineapple sherbet instead of ice cream for the rubber duckies to swim in. It was a huge hit! We put blue lights wrapped in tulle around the punchbowl and it was just beautiful! Thanks for the perfect recipe!

    I made this for a baby shower. The first batch, I followed the recipe to the t. It tasted good, but was a tad too sweet, and the ice cream sort of "curdled" on top. For the second batch, I omitted the sugar for the kool aid and did not add any more ice cream. I would make it again, but next time I will use sherbert.
