Punch Recipes for Baby Shower

At a baby shower, the games and activities are sure to leave you guests hungry and thirsty. Baby shower punch is the perfect accompaniment to your delectable finger food and will refresh your guests. It also shows your consideration towards the mommy to be, by not serving non alcoholic drinks at a baby shower. If you want your punch to fit the baby shower theme, you can either make a pink or blue punch, and float a rubber ducky on it. Here are a number of different punch recipes for baby shower, which you could try in the days leading up to the party.

Baby Shower Punch Recipes

Strawberry Punch
Ingredients

• 2 cups frozen strawberries
• 2 cups ice cubes
• 1 cup orange juice
• 4 tbsp strawberry jam
• 2 cups plain seltzer

Pour the orange juice, frozen strawberries, strawberry jam, seltzer and ice cubes in a blender, and blend until smooth. Place punch in the refrigerator, until it is time to serve it. This punch serves four.

Pink Peppermint Punch
Ingredients

• 1 quart peppermint ice cream
• 2 liters chilled ginger ale
• 1 cup cold milk

Empty the ice cream into a bowl and allow it to soften slowly. Add the milk and ginger ale to it. Either stir or blend it until it becomes frothy. Place punch in a punch bowl and only bring it out of the refrigerator at the time of serving.

Tropical Mango Lemonade Punch
Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups sugar
• 2 cups sliced mangoes, pureed (fresh or frozen)
• ½ cup fresh lime juice
• 5 cups cold water

Heat water in a saucepan, and when it begins to boil, pour in ½ a cup of sugar. Allow the sugar to dissolve over low heat. Now pour in 5 cups of cold water, add the pureed mangoes and stir in the lime juice. Pour it into a punch bowl and add shaved or cubed ice. This punch serves four.

Tangy Citrus Punch
Ingredients

• 11 cups water
• 2 liters lemon-lime soda
• 3 cups sugar
• chilled lime slices
• ¾ cup limeade concentrate

Mix together the sugar, water and limeade concentrate, until the sugar melts. Pour it into a 4-qt. freezer container, cover it with a lid and freeze. Take the punch out of the freezer a few hours before the baby shower, and let it melt till you are able to chop it into slush. The soda needs to be added just before serving. Float lime slices on the punch or place them on the rims of the glasses. This punch serves thirty.

Creamy Pink Punch
Ingredients

• 1 quart vanilla ice cream
• 2 quarts pineapple juice
• 1 quart rainbow sherbet
• 1 (2 liter) bottle of 7-Up or Sprite

Blend together ice cream and sherbet, and pour into a punch bowl. Add the soda and pineapple juice. Your punch will turn pink when you add the rainbow sherbet to it. If you want green punch, use lime sherbet, or orange sherbet for orange punch. Serve with ice.

Blue Bath Recipe
Ingredients

• 1 (0.13 ounce) package berry blue flavored unsweetened Kool-Aid drink mix
• 1 (2 liter) bottle lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage
• 1 (64 fluid ounce) bottle white cranberry juice
• 8 scoops vanilla ice cream
• 1 cup white sugar, or to taste
• 3-5 new, clean mini rubber duckies

Mix together the lemon-lime soda, Kool-Aid and white cranberry juice in a large punch bowl. If need be, add sugar to it. Spoon a few scoops of the ice cream on the punch, and as it floats and slowly melts into the punch, it will turn it into a pretty blue color. Float the rubber duckies on the punch.

While preparing baby shower punch, one way of doing it is mixing the chilled carbonated beverages with the punch just before the party begins. This is to avoid the punch getting diluted by ice, which happens often. Serve the baby shower punch in cocktail glasses with frosted rims for good presentation.
