FAQ

Q1: Can I make this punch ahead of time?

Yes, mix the juice and coconut cream ahead of time, but add the soda and ice cream right before serving.

Q2: Can I use fresh pineapple juice?

Absolutely! Freshly squeezed pineapple juice adds an extra burst of flavor.

Q3: How can I make this punch vegan?

Use a dairy-free coconut ice cream or vanilla ice cream substitute.

Q4: Can I skip the soda?

Yes, but the punch will lose its fizz. You can replace it with sparkling water for a milder alternative.

Q5: Can I serve this hot?

This punch is best served cold for a frosty, tropical experience.

Q6: How do I store leftovers?

Store the punch (without ice cream) in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Add fresh ice cream before serving again.

Q7: What’s the best alcohol to add for a boozy version?

Light or dark rum works beautifully, but vodka is a great neutral option too.

Q8: Can I make individual servings instead of a punch bowl?

Yes! Simply divide the ingredients per glass and mix directly.

Q9: Can I use coconut milk instead of coconut cream?

Coconut milk will work but won’t be as creamy. For the best results, stick with coconut cream.

Shredded coconut, pineapple slices, cherries, or even a dollop of whipped cream add a perfect finishing touch.
