Sherbet Punch only needs three ingredients! This drink recipe is my go-to for serving at events or parties. It’s always a favorite!
straightforward Party Punch
There’s nothing like a festive and colorful drink to tie together an event! Whether it’s a holiday celebration, birthday party, bridal or baby shower, Sherbet Punch will fit right in! It’s been my go-to at these events for years. The thing It is satisfying to most about this drink, is how straightforward it is to prepare. Really, it only has three ingredients and whips together in a snap.
A few weeks ago, my sister texted me about this sherbet punch she made for her sister-in-law’s bridal shower. She said everyone raved about it, and no one could believe how simple it was to make. She even declared it would be her new go-to recipe for hosting. I think once you try it, you’ll feel the same!
How To Make Sherbet Punch
This punch couldn’t be easier to make. All you need is some sherbet, lemon-lime soda, and pineapple juice. Simply stir these in a large punch bowl until the sherbet starts to blend with the liquid. For an extra touch, You can finish this drink with some fresh fruit, but that’s completely skippable.
Exact amounts of the ingredients can be found in the recipe card at the end of this post.
While it’s straightforward to make, after making this many times, I’ve learned a few things that make it even easier:
Preparation Tips
- Make to taste: The amounts I give in the recipe card at the end of this post are what I’ve personally found to be the best, but these are easily adjusted to your taste preferences. Sometimes I’ll switch out the lemon-lime soda for ginger ale, which is also satisfying!
- finish: A handful of fresh fruit or fresh herbs (mint leaves or rosemary comes to mind) add a nice pop of color to Sherbet Punch. It is satisfying to adding a few fresh (or even frozen!) raspberries as well.
Quick Tip
Cover a muffin tin with plastic wrap. Then scoop out evenly sized scoops of raspberry sherbet and place one scoop in each cup of the muffin tin. Cover it again with plastic wrap and freeze until you’re ready to serve. This helps the sherbet stay frozen for longer and makes the top of your punch bowl look gorgeous!
