Notes
Tips for Making
Leave your sherbet out on the counter for 5-10 minutes before scooping if you want it to be soft enough to scoop more easily.
As the sherbet melts, the punch will get sweeter, so keep some extra punch ingredients on hand if you want to pour in a little more soda and juice later on to keep the balance just right.
Look for seasonal flavors of Sprite and 7Up (like cranberry around the holidays) to add another flavor twist on the classic.
Make sure your soda and juices are chilled before mixing so the punch will be nice and cold.
You can also add fresh fruit like orange or lime slices for additional color to the top of your punch bowl.
Try adding rum or vodka to make an adult sherbet punch!
