Creamy Rainbow Sherbet Punch - CDKitchen.com

serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  under 30 minutes

ingredients

1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, softened
1/2 gallon rainbow sherbet, softened
1 bottle (64 ounce size) pineapple juice
2 liters lemon-lime carbonated beverage

directions

Combine the ice cream, sherbet, and pineapple juice in a punch bowl. Stir gently to mix. While gently stirring, add the lemon-lime soda. Serve immediately.

If you don't mix it too much it will keep some of the rainbow effect.

recipe tips


Allow the ice cream and sherbet to soften slightly before mixing to make blending easier.

Try different flavors of sherbet and carbonated beverages for variations on the classic punch recipe.

Chill the pineapple juice and soda before adding to the punch to keep it from melting too quickly.

If you prefer a less sweet punch, you can reduce the amount of pineapple juice or use a sugar-free version.

To keep the punch cold without diluting it, consider using frozen fruit like berries or pineapple chunks instead of ice cubes.

common recipe questions


Can I use a different flavor of sherbet?

You can use a different flavor of sherbet, such as orange or raspberry or whatever your favorite is.

How far in advance can I make rainbow sherbet punch?

It is best to make the punch right before serving to keep it fizzy.

Can I make an alcoholic version of this punch?

Yes, this punch works well with vodka or rum, or even champagne. Add it to taste but you'll probably want to add 1-2 cups of your alcohol of choice.

Can I use a different carbonated beverage instead of lemon-lime soda?

You can experiment with different carbonated beverages like ginger ale or club soda.

How should I serve rainbow sherbet punch?

Serve the punch in a large bowl or pitcher with a ladle for easy serving. Make sure to have glasses or cups available for guests.

Can I add fresh fruits or garnishes to the punch?

You can add sliced fruits like oranges, lemons, or berries as a garnish to the punch bowl.

How long will the punch stay fizzy?

The carbonation in the soda will start to dissipate once opened, so it's best to serve and enjoy the punch shortly after preparing.
