How to Make The Best Sherbet Punch Recipe

Step 2 – Spoon the sherbet into the punch bowl.

Step 3 – Pour the Sprite over the sherbet and stir.

Step 4 – Serve and Enjoy! Garnish with fresh strawberries and mint leaves for fun twist!

Recipe Tips

• Preparing Punch – Give yourself plenty of time. You want to start your sherbet punch about 15-20 minutes before serving it. You want to give it time for the sherbet to melt a little and for the flavors to combine.
• Scooping Sherbet – Make sure you scoop the sherbet into the punch. I like to scoop it into small scoops so everyone can get a good serving of sherbet in their cup. This is a great ice cream scoop to help you make the best punch.
• Adding Lemon-Lime Soda – I always buy another 2-liter of lemon lime soda and then I pour it in as the punch goes down. You can make the sherbet last even longer and get double the punch. You know I like to find ways to save money.
• Use Cold Punch Ingredients – Keeps the punch bubbly and refreshing.
• Don’t Overmix – Light stirring keeps the fizzy texture.

Variations Ideas

• Christmas Sherbet Punch – Use red and green sherbet with cranberry juice, pineapple juice or Hawaiian Punch for the perfect holiday celebrations punch.
• Tropical Punch – Try mango or pineapple sherbet with ginger ale and fruit punch with fresh fruit for the perfect summertime drink.
• Raspberry Cream Punch – Use raspberry sherbet and pink lemonade for the perfect Valentine’s Day or Bridal Shower drink.
• Orange Sherbet – Looking for the perfect drink for Halloween, use Orange Sherbet and club soda for amazing flavor.
• Add Flair – Top with whipped cream or rainbow sprinkles for a festive touch.
• Adult Version – Add a splash of champagne, vodka or rum for a grown-up twist.

How Long Does Sherbet Punch Last
