Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1 cup coconut milk or cream of coconut
- 2 cups pineapple juice, chilled
- 2 cups ginger ale, chilled
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
- Maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Blend the Pineapple Base: In a blender, combine the crushed pineapple and coconut milk. Blend until smooth.
- Mix the Punch: In a large punch bowl or pitcher, combine the pineapple-coconut mixture with the pineapple juice. Stir to mix well.

Notes

- For a non-alcoholic option, this punch is naturally kid-friendly. However, you can easily turn it into a cocktail by adding rum or other spirits for a boozy version.
