Recipe Variations
- Add any fresh or frozen fruit you would like to match your theme and flavors.
- Use different colored koolaid pair with different colored sherbet to accent your theme.
- Gingerale or Champagne (adults only) can be used in place of the Lemon-Lime soda.
- Cut the recipe in half to fit a pitcher instead of a punch bowl.
Keep it cold!
If you want to keep the sherbet in scoops for longer, place scoops of ice cream on a parchment lined sheet pan or plastic lined muffin tin, and freeze the ice cream balls prior to adding to punch. They will last longer and keep it cold.
Instructions
This is an overview of the instructions. For complete directions, scroll down to the bottom.
- Add all ingredients to a large punch bowl or pitcher. Easy as that!
Note that there likely will not be leftovers, but if there are, you can add them to a pitcher and refrigerate. Use up the next day though. The soda will go flat and the sherbet could start to make a film.

FAQ’s
Valid point. I once was one of those kids that would go for the melting ice cream balls in the punch. Add just enough ice cream to cover and start the fizzing process when initially put out. As the ice cream disappears or gets served, add more ice cream from the reserved tub.
No it is not. If someone has dairy allergies or intolerances, please do not serve this to them.
No, it’s not the same and will create a different consistency.
