Ingredients

These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:

🍧 1 quart Rainbow Sherbet (choose a mix of raspberry, lime, orange)
🥤 1 liter Lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7Up)
🍍 1 liter Pineapple juice (cold)
🍒 Maraschino cherries (for garnish, optional)
🍬 Gummy candies, fruit slices, or edible glitter (optional for decoration)
🍾 Optional for adults: 1 cup vodka, champagne, or Malibu rum

Instructions

Step 1: Chill all liquid ingredients
Ensure your soda and juice are well chilled before mixing. This keeps your punch cold and avoids too much melted sherbet.

Step 2: Prepare the punch bowl
Place the punch bowl or large beverage dispenser on a flat, sturdy surface. You can also use a large trifle bowl for extra visibility.

Step 3: Add the sherbet
Using an ice cream scoop, add generous scoops of rainbow sherbet directly into the punch bowl. Space them evenly.

Step 4: Pour in liquids
Slowly pour in the pineapple juice, followed by the lemon-lime soda. You’ll see foamy, colorful swirls instantly form.

Step 5: Garnish & serve
Top with maraschino cherries or decorative candies if desired. Serve immediately with ladles and fun glasses.

Notes

These sherbet punches are incredibly forgiving, but here’s what to remember:

🧊 Always use cold liquids to slow the melting process and maintain texture.
🍧 Don’t pre-mix too early — add the sherbet last and just before guests arrive.
🥂 If making it alcoholic, pour booze into juice, stir, then add soda & sherbet.
🚫 Avoid ice cubes — they water down the punch. Let the sherbet handle chilling.
🎨 For extra color, layer scoops of each sherbet flavor individually rather than mixing them first
