Festive Red, White and Blue Ice Ring Recipe

Celebrate Fourth of July-or any special gathering-by whipping up a Red, White and Blue Ice Ring that will not only keep your favorite punch cool, but give it a festive, holiday touch! Your preschooler will enjoy crafting this easy edible masterpiece, and will be amazed by the finished-frozen-product.

What You Will Need

Bundt Cake Pan

A Handful of Fresh or Frozen Strawberries, cut up into slices

A Handful of Miniature Marshmallows

A Handful of Fresh or Frozen Blueberries

Sprite or 7-Up, liter size bottle

Punch Bowl

Red Fruit Juice

What to Do

Step 1:

Help your preschooler pour the soft drink into the cake pan.

Step 2:

Instruct your preschooler to grab a small handful of strawberries and sprinkle them all the way around the cake pan. Repeat with marshmallows and blueberries.

Step 3:

Put the cake pan in the freezer until ice sets; about two to three hours.

Step 4:

Once the ice ring is ready, pour the red fruit juice into the punch bowl.

Step 5:

Run the bottom of the cake pan under warm water to loosen the ice. Turn the cake pan over onto a flat surface, and gently tap the bottom with a butter knife to remove the ice ring.

Step 6:

Put the ice ring in your punch bowl to create a fun and festive drink for your holiday gathering. As the ice ring starts to slowly melt, the Sprite and berries will give your punch an extra zing!

Cheers!
