Using several ice cube trays, place 1 peppermint (see description) into each cube and fill halfway with water (or any clear liquid such as white wine, vodka, ginger ale, etc. Freeze until solid. (Use half red-half green peppermints for a great effect).
Pour enough water over frozen cubes to fill trays about 1/2 of the way up, and freeze until solid. Add more water to top of tray and freeze again until solid. Place frozen mint cubes in large ziplock bag until needed. NOTE: If you don't have enough trays, once the cubes are fully frozen, place them into a freezer ziploc bag and repeat till you get enough cubes.
About 2 hrs before (or at serving time), mix remaining ingredients together in a gallon jug, blend well and chill until needed. Give a good shake and transfer to punchbowl, add peppermint ice cubes and serve.
