SPICY ICE CREAM-CITRUS PUNCH
This punch is a Christmas tradition at our home, and a wonderful alternative to traditional eggnog. It is not too heavy and the addition of ginger ale gives it a kick! You can make it several days in advance and wait until the last minute to add ginger ale. I also freeze a ginger ale ice ring and add it to the punch bowl to help keep the punch cold. Add cinnamon swizzle sticks to your glasses for pretty presentation.

Tips:

- Add some herbs or spices to your ice ring. This is a great way to customize the flavor and make it your own. Some good options include mint, basil, thyme, and rosemary.
- Freeze the ice ring in a mold that is slightly larger than the punch bowl you will be using. This will allow for some expansion and prevent the ice ring from cracking.
- Let the ice ring thaw for a few minutes before serving. This will make it easier to cut and serve.
- Garnish the ice ring with citrus slices, herbs, or flowers. This will add a festive touch and make it even more visually appealing.
Conclusion:
A citrus ice ring is a beautiful and refreshing way to serve punch at your next party or gathering. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a little creativity, you can create a stunning ice ring that will impress your guests and make your party a memorable occasion.
