Easy Blue Frozen Punch For Any Party!
This post may contain affiliate links which won't change your price but will share some commission.This simple recipe for blue frozen punch is a hit whether you’re throwing a Disney Frozen party for your kids, celebrating a birthday, wedding, or baby shower.
If you love throwing parties or gathering with friends, this is the perfect (and easiest!) cold punch recipe for kids and adults alike! We all need a recipe that never fails to please guests and everyone begs for the recipe!
I served it at an Elephant Themed Baby Shower for my first grandson to be.
My daughter Rachel is due in January. You may remember Rachel’s gender reveal party where we decorated with aqua and hot pink using supplies from the dollar store and my craft supplies.
Yes, our first grandchild, Aiden James, is set to arrive soon and we are about to burst with excitement!
For Rachel’s baby shower I simply reused the blue decorations, including the chalkboard banner, rearranging everything to work inside my home.
***Edited to note: I served this punch for my daughter’s SECOND baby shower as well! Her family and my house have changed a lot (thus the new pictures!) in these three years but the blue frozen punch is still delicious!
Ingredients
- container of blue Hawaiian punch
- 7-up or ginger ale, Sprite, etc.
- pineapple juice
- vanilla ice cream, optional
See the recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
- Freeze blue punch in ice cube trays if desired.
- Pour bottle of blue Hawaiian Punch into punch bowl or other container.
- Add Ginger Ale to mixture
- Add two cups of pineapple juice.
- Stir all ingredients and add ice cubes if desired.
- If using vanilla ice cream, add a few scoops right before serving.
Substitutions
You can always change the color of Hawaiian Punch (red is a favorite for Christmas and Valentine’s Day.) Feel free to use a different juice such as orange juice. Any clear soda will do, such as Ginger Ale, Sprite, or even something like Cranberry Sprite during the holiday season.
Variations
Since I love ice cream, adding the vanilla was a no-brainer! This would be perfect for a party celebrating Disney’s Frozen movie! As the ice cream melts the drink becomes more like a combination of a slushy and milk shake. Divine! Kids of all ages will adore it!
Make sure and add the ice cream right before serving so it doesn’t melt too much. The scoops look like puffs of snow!

Equipment
If you need a large beverage container this one has the removable ice cone in the middle. It’s one of my favorite ways to serve punch.
Or maybe a punch bowl is more your style. This glass one also comes with 8 glasses, perfect for a luncheon or party!
Storage
The punch stays colder if you refrigerate the ingredients the night before. If you have leftovers simply pour back into the plastic containers and refrigerate!
Can you use this punch for any type of event?
I love the fact that this punch recipe is so easy and can be made at the last minute. Perfect for school parties and busy days celebrating a child’s birthday.
Top tip
The more pineapple juice you add the less teal color the punch will have. If you want it very blue just leave out the pineapple juice!

Notes
I love to entertain and have recently celebrated everything from my husband’s graduation from college to my 16-year-old’s sweet 16 party, in addition to the baby gender reveal party.
Yum! I’m all about refreshing drink 🙂
Me, too, Mila!
Yummy and blue! Great recipe and we’re sharing it this Sunday at our Weekend Features post!
Thanks, Jenna!
I love this! I have 4 kids so I’m always looking for new punches or drinks that I can serve at their parties. I would love for you to come share this and any other post over at tonight’s Throwback Thursday link party!
Thanks, Alli!
love it! this is such a cute party theme!
Thank you, Tianna! We had so much fun at my daughter’s baby shower and the punch was easy and delicious!
How do you get the blue punch to be slushy. Instead of putting ice in it we want it to be slushy.
Want a slushy blue punch that uses jello , sugar,pineapple juice and ginger ale. What color jello would i use since the pineapple juice turns it a gray/green color. HELP!
Hi, Shelley. You’re probably thinking of this recipe: https://www.martysmusings.net/2012/07/frozen-jello-punch.html You might be able to use a jello that would give you the color you’re looking for but I can tell you grape jello turns gray. Hope this helps!
This was very helpful and looks great! Thank you
Do you use the 1 gallon container of Hawaiian Punch?
Hi, Susan. Yes, you do use the one gallon container and I’ll change it on my recipe. Thanks for asking the question!
Love it, thanks for the idea!!
Which Blue Hawaiian Punch did you use? The Hawaiian Punch Fruit Drink, Polar Blast or the Hawaiian Punch Berry Blue Typhoon? They are both blue. The idea is great. I think we will use crushed ice to give it that slushy taste!!!
Hi, Amy. I’m so sorry it took me a while to respond to your question. I used the Blue Typhoon punch. Enjoy!
No problem, thank you for getting back with me!!!
We freeze the Hawaiian blue punch in quart ziplock bags overnight. Day of party we put the frozen punch In the punch bowl, add ginger ale and pineapple juice and by the time the party starts its thawing out and slushy..
Hi, Cynthia. Love your idea! I’ve got a frozen punch I use for Christmas (and also my daughter’s wedding) and I do the same thing. Makes it so easy!
what recipe do you use.. im always looking for easy punch recipes.. Were making the blue punch for a baby shower for my grandson.. Thought it would be pretty
Hi, Cynthia. Here’s the recipe I use. It’s a HUGE family favorite and one everyone requests when I serve it! https://www.martysmusings.net/2012/07/frozen-jello-punch.html
About how many servings do you get out of this recipe?
Hi, Jennifer. I would say you can easily get 12-16 medium punch cups out of this recipe. If you’re using the recipe for children, just use small cups for it go farther. Hope this helps!
Marty,
Do you recommend ginger ale or sprite, or 7 up?
Hi, Angel. I’ve used Ginger Ale and really liked it but it’s really just what you prefer according to taste! Enjoy!
Hi, thank you for sharing, this is a great idea. I am having my daughter’s 4th b’day party and was wondering if i could skip the soda in this drink since it is going to be toddlers and i don’t want to serve them soda. Would that be okay?
Her party is this Saturday, so I would appreciate a quick response.
thank you
Hi, there. You could skip the soda but it would definitely taste different. Since ginger ale is caffeine free that’s a consideration. You could always try some other sparkling drink as a substitute. Good luck!
Sprite is also caffeine free.
Hi, Joyce. My best recommendation for you is to make this recipe and then estimate how many glasses you can get out of one recipe. Are you using punch glasses? What size cups? There are a lot of variables. I used this punch recipe for my daughter’s wedding: https://www.martysmusings.net/2012/07/frozen-jello-punch.html You can also google how to estimate how much punch needed for a wedding. Since you are serving several options you also can keep that in mind. Hope that gives you some things to think about!
Hi! Looks delish! I’m having a sip and see and wanted a spiked punch. Any recommendations of what to add? Champagne? Thanks so much! 🙂
Hi, Angie. Sorry I can’t help with that one! You’ll have to tell me what you end up using so my readers can know!
I’ve made this punch many times ad it’s a great hit everytime!! I’m having a baby shower for a girl so I was wondering if I can use the red Hawaiian punch with the pineapple juice and 7up.. thanks for the great posts!!
Hi, Lynn. I have a great red punch I can recommend. It’s seriously my family’s favorite: https://www.martysmusings.net/frozen-jello-punch/ I also googled it to see if the red Hawaiian Punch would change colors with pineapple juice but I didn’t see a definitive answer. Regardless, I’m sure it would taste great! Hope this helps!
Can I use half of each my container is a little small it won’t hold everything
You can certainly try to half the recipe but you might also just use two small pitchers or even milk jugs if that works for you! Hope this helps!
Hi Marty!
When I found your recipe for this blue frozen punch, I knew I would have to try making it! I plan to make this punch for a small Inauguration Day gathering this year.
I plan to use the Fever-Tree brand of ginger ale (which is my favorite brand), the Dole brand pineapple juice, the Polar Blast flavored Hawaiian bunch, and vanilla ice cream.
However, I was also considering adding a few drops of royal blue food coloring to the punch (since I love royal blue). I wanted to ask you: have you ever added food coloring to your punch recipe? And if so, did it alter the taste in any way?
Thanks in advance for any information you can share…and I look forward to making this punch recipe!
Sincerely,
Chris Romero

Hi, Chris. I have NOT tried adding food coloring but I don’t think it would change the flavor. You could always do a really small batch beforehand and see what happens! Good luck!
I want to make a blue champagne punch and I have a question about using the blue frozen punch. Could I add Champaign to that punch.
