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

- 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

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.
