When Easter rolls around, I always look for something fun and festive to serve that feels just as playful as the holiday itself. This Easter Bunny Punch is one of my absolute favorite additions to any spring gathering. It’s sweet, creamy, fizzy, and bursting with fruity flavor — and let’s be honest, the marshmallow bunny garnish makes it just too cute to resist.
It comes together in just minutes and is perfect for both kids and adults. The blend of pink lemonade, pineapple juice, and creamy vanilla ice cream gives it a frothy, pastel look that just screams Easter. Add a little sparkle with colorful sprinkles and you’ve got a party in a glass.
Let me show you how I make this simple but magical punch that’s always the highlight of our Easter table.

Ingredients You’ll Need
(Serves 8 | Prep Time: 5 minutes)
- 4 cups pink lemonade, chilled
- 2 cups pineapple juice, chilled

How to Make Easter Bunny Punch
1. Mix the Punch Base
In a large punch bowl or pitcher, combine the pink lemonade and pineapple juice. Stir well to mix the flavors.
2. Add Ice Cream for Creaminess
Scoop in the vanilla ice cream. Let it melt slightly, then gently stir to create a creamy, frothy texture that gives the punch that signature softness.
3. Add Fizz
Just before serving, slowly pour in the lemon-lime soda for that fun, fizzy touch that makes every sip feel bubbly and light.
4. Serve and Decorate
Pour the punch into individual glasses. Top each one with a dollop of whipped cream (if using). Garnish with a pink marshmallow bunny or Peeps perched on the rim, and sprinkle with colorful sprinkles for that final festive flourish.
5. Enjoy!
Serve immediately while the punch is cold and bubbly. I always keep extra ice cream nearby in case anyone wants a little extra scoop in their glass.
Tips for the Best Bunny Punch
- Chill all ingredients beforehand so your punch is perfectly cold and refreshing.
- Add the soda last and gently stir to keep the bubbles lively.
- Use a clear punch bowl or pitcher to show off the beautiful pink color and floating ice cream.
- Don’t skip the garnish — Peeps and sprinkles make this punch so much fun to serve.
- Make it a cocktail for the adults by adding a splash of vodka or sparkling rosé.
Fun Variations to Try
- Swap vanilla ice cream for raspberry sorbet for a fruity twist.
- Use rainbow sprinkles or edible glitter for extra sparkle.
- Top with crushed freeze-dried strawberries for added flavor and color.
- Make a lemon-lime version by using lime sherbet instead of vanilla ice cream.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I make this punch ahead of time?
A: You can mix the lemonade and pineapple juice ahead of time and store in the fridge. Add the ice cream and soda just before serving.
Q: Can I use regular lemonade instead of pink lemonade?
A: Absolutely! Pink lemonade just gives it that lovely pastel hue, but regular lemonade works just as well.
Q: What if I don’t have a punch bowl?
A: A large pitcher works perfectly. You can also make individual servings in glasses for a fun personal touch.
Q: Can I make this dairy-free?
A: Yes! Use dairy-free vanilla ice cream and coconut whipped cream for a dairy-free version that’s just as creamy and delicious.
