- Use a large punch bowl to accommodate all your guests, or prepare individual servings in glasses.
- To make it extra special, you can rim the glasses with crushed peppermint candy before pouring in the punch.
- Feel free to customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of ice cream and soda according to your preference.
- For a non-alcoholic option, this punch is perfect as is. However, if you prefer a boozy version, you can add a splash of peppermint schnapps or vodka for an adult twist.
