The creamy texture from the lime sherbet adds a delightful richness, making each sip a refreshing and indulgent experience perfect for holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups lemon-lime soda (chilled)
- 2 cups pineapple juice
- 1 cup green apple juice or green sports drink
- ½ cup lime sherbet or sorbet
- ½ cup vodka or rum (optional for an adult version)
- Ice
- Lime slices or maraschino cherries (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large punch bowl, combine the chilled lemon-lime soda, pineapple juice, and green apple juice or sports drink.
- Add the lime sherbet or sorbet, stirring gently until it begins to melt and swirl into the punch.
- If desired, pour in the vodka or rum and mix well.
- Fill glasses with ice and ladle the punch over the ice.

- Store any leftover punch in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but note that the soda may lose its fizz.
- For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the vodka or rum.
