How to Make Orange Sherbet Punch

Tips and Tricks

• Less Sweet – If you prefer a less sweet drink, add more lemon lime soda to the punch.
• Add More Sherbet – While we used a ½ gallon of sherbet, feel free to add more if you prefer. I like to continue add more sherbet as it is being served.
• Chill Soda – Chill the soda before hand so the punch will be nice and cold. This will also help the sherbet not melt so fast.
• To Easily Scoop Sherbet – Allow the sherbet to sit out from the freezer a few minutes before scooping with an ice cream scoop. This will make it easier to scoop.

Variation Ideas

• Pineapple juice. Try adding this to the other ingredients for a delicious pineapple orange combination.
• Rainbow Sherbet. Instead or orange sherbet, use rainbow sherbet in the punch.
• Vanilla Ice cream. For a creamier drink, top with scoops of vanilla ice cream instead of sherbet. You can also scoop with sherbet and ice cream for a punch that tastes like a creamsicle. You can also substitute with sorbet.
• Hawaiian Punch. You can use orange Hawaiian Punch instead of orange juice in this recipe.
• Orange Soda. Try using Sunkist or Orange Crush instead of juice in the punch.
• Soda. We used 7-up but you can also use Sierra Mist, Sprite, Ginger Ale or any store brand lemon lime soda. This is delicious for the Christmas with Cranberry Sprite or Cranberry Juice for the perfect holiday celebration.
• Combine Sherbet. Try scooping lime sherbet and orange sherbet. Garnish with both orange slices and lime slices for a refreshing lime sherbet punch drink.
• Alcohol. Serve alcohol with this punch on the side. We recommend vodka, rum or tequila. This way everyone can add their own. Champagne would also be a great addition to the punch.

How to Serve Orange Sherbet Punch

If serving this at baby showers, pour into a large punch bowl. We like to use a beverage dispenser at birthday parties, Halloween Party or it is perfect when hosting a bridal shower.

Garnish with orange slices or fresh mint. This is really pretty floating in the punch bowl or drink dispenser. You can also garnish each cup with orange slices if you prefer for a delicious drink.

Another fun idea is to freeze orange slices in orange juice. You can use molds, ice cube trays or really anything. Not only will this look pretty but it will keep the punch cold without diluting it.

Serve this easy orange sherbet punch in pretty glasses and straws. You can use punch glasses, mason jars or anything you have on hand. This drink not only tastes great but looks so pretty too.
