Dreamsicle Orange Punch Bliss (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 500 ml freshly squeezed orange juice
02 - 250 ml vanilla ice cream, softened

→ Mix-ins and Garnish

03 - 750 ml lemon-lime soda, chilled
04 - 120 ml grenadine

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together freshly squeezed orange juice and softened vanilla ice cream until smooth and uniform.
02 - Gradually pour chilled lemon-lime soda into the orange-ice cream mixture. Fold gently to retain carbonation.
03 - Drizzle approximately 15 ml grenadine into each serving glass to create a colourful layer at the base.
04 - Ladle the orange punch over grenadine in each glass, creating a vibrant swirling effect.
05 - Serve immediately over ice to maintain chilled temperature and effervescence.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less grenadine to suit your preference.
02 - For added visual appeal, garnish with orange slices or maraschino cherries.
03 - Prepare the orange juice and ice cream mixture in advance if desired, but add soda and grenadine just before serving for optimal fizz.
04 - For reduced sugar, substitute regular soda with a sugar-free alternative.
05 - Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 24 hours, though carbonation will decrease.
