Della Robbia Ice Ring(For Fruit Medley Punch)
A vibrant fruit-filled ice ring perfect for punch bowls at parties, featuring refreshing ginger ale and citrus flavors complemented by colorful fresh fruits.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the cans of ginger ale and 1/2 cup ReaLemon brand in a bowl.
- Pour 2 1/2 cups of the mixture into a 1-quart ring mold.
- Arrange apricot halves, green grapes, strawberries, orange peel strips, and mint leaves on top of the ice in the mold.
- Slowly pour the remaining ReaLemon brand mixture over the fruit in the mold.
- Freeze until solid.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more vibrant ice ring, consider adding seasonal fruits such as raspberries or blueberries for added color and flavor. If you're short on ginger ale, a mix of sparkling water and lemon-lime soda can work as a substitute. Make sure to let the ginger ale and ReaLemon mixture cool before pouring, as this helps the fruits stay suspended in the ice.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Della Robbia Ice Ring in a large punch bowl, allowing guests to scoop out the fruit and ice as they pour the ginger ale over it. It pairs beautifully with light appetizers or can be served alongside a summer barbecue. Consider offering a side of My Mother'S Famous Watermelon Salad for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover ice ring in the freezer, wrapped in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn. It can last for up to a month. If you need to reassemble the punch, simply remove the ice from the mold and place it in a punch bowl with fresh fruit and ginger ale for a refreshing drink.
