Step-by-Step Directions
To make things even easier for you, I created a simple photo guide below. For all measurements and a more detailed guide, check out the recipe card at the bottom of this page.
Step 1 – Add lemonade to a clean punch bowl.
Step 2 – Pour the lemon-lime soda on top of the lemonade.
Step 3 – Gently scoop balls of yellow and green sherbet onto the punch bowl so they float on top.
Step 4 – Garnish with lemon and lime slices between the scoops of sherbet. Serve immediately.
Essential Tips:
Don’t skip these tips – read them before starting to avoid any potential mistakes.
- Use a little less sherbet than your typical party punch to allow room for the fruit slices to float around.
- This is best when made with lemonade that is in juice or punch form. We like Simply Lemonade, but most lemonade that is not from concentrate should work.
- Feel free to try either pineapple or lemon sherbet for this recipe. They both taste great!
- Use a good quality lemon lime soda for the best flavor. I recommend using Sprite or 7UP.
Variations:
If you want to mix things up and add your own personal touch, here are some ideas to get you started:
- Swap out lemon-lime soda for ginger ale for a slightly different flavor profile.
- For a boozy twist, add a splash of vodka or rum to the punch bowl before serving (adults only!)
- Add in some fresh citrus juices for an extra burst of flavor. Orange juice would be a delicious addition.
- Feeling fancy? Use this cookie scoop to create tiny scoops of sherbet. It creates a more elegant presentation and makes it possible for everyone to get a scoop in their cup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Punch recipes like this don’t hold their fun texture or color well when made ahead, so it’s best to make this punch right before serving. Thankfully, it only takes a few minutes to make a big batch, so you can quickly make multiple batches throughout the party if needed.
Absolutely! My rainbow sherbet punch is a huge hit if you’re looking for more color. You can even try sorbet instead of sherbet, though it won’t give you the same frothy, creamy effect.
Leftover Punch? Here’s How to Store It
While it won’t be quite the same, you can store leftover punch:
- Skim the foam off the punch, remove the fruit slices, and take out any remaining ice cream scoops. Then, transfer the remaining liquid to a juice bottle or pitcher.
- Store the leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze it for up to 3 months.
