Sherbet Punch only needs three ingredients! This drink recipe is my go-to for serving at events or parties. It’s always a favorite!

Easy Party Punch

There’s nothing like a festive and fun-colored drink to tie together an event! Whether it’s a holiday celebration, birthday party, bridal/baby shower, you name it! Sherbet Punch will quickly become your go-to recipe. The thing I love about this drink, too, is how easy 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 similar!

How To Make Sherbet Punch

This punch couldn’t be easier to make. Simply mix together some sherbet, lemon- lime soda, and pineapple juice in a large punch bowl. Stir until the sherbet starts to combine with the liquid. I like to garnish this drink with some fresh fruit, but that’s completely optional.

Specific quantities of ingredients can be found in the recipe card at the end of this post.

While it’s easy to make, after making this many times, I’ve learned a few things that make it even easier:

Preparation Tips

  • Make to taste: The quantities 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. Occasionally I’ll switch out the lemon-lime soda for ginger ale, which is also delicious!
  • Garnish: A handful of fresh fruit or fresh herbs (mint leaves or rosemary comes to mind) add a gorgeous pop of color to Sherbet Punch. I love adding a few fresh (or even frozen!) raspberries as well.

Quick Tip

cover a muffin tin with plastic wrap. Scoop out even-sized scoops of raspberry sherbet and place one scoop in each cavity of the muffin tin. Cover again with plastic wrap and freeze until ready to serve. This helps the sherbet stay frozen for longer and makes the top of your punch bowl gorgeous!

Equipment
