Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12 oz) can frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
  • 1 (2-liter) bottle lemon-lime soda (e.g., Sprite or 7-Up), chilled
  • 1 quart lime sherbet
  • 1 cup pineapple juice, chilled
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional, for creamier punch)
  • Red sanding sugar (optional, for glass rim)
  • Maraschino cherries or candy hearts (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Glasses (Optional): Dip the rims of serving glasses in water, then coat them with red sanding sugar. Set aside to dry.
  • Combine Limeade and Pineapple Juice: In a large punch bowl, mix the thawed limeade concentrate with chilled pineapple juice. Stir until fully blended.
  • Add Soda: Gradually pour in the lemon-lime soda, stirring gently to preserve the fizz.
  • Add Lime Sherbet: Scoop the lime sherbet into the punch bowl, letting it float and melt slightly to create a frothy effect.
  • Optional Creamy Punch: If desired, stir in the heavy cream for a creamier consistency.
  • Serve and Garnish: Pour the punch into the prepared glasses, and garnish each serving with a maraschino cherry or candy heart for a festive touch.

Notes

  • For an extra creamy punch, use the optional heavy cream, which adds richness to the texture.
  • You can easily scale this recipe for a larger crowd by adjusting the quantities of limeade, soda, and sherbet proportionally.
  • This punch is best served immediately, while the sherbet is still floating and frothy. If you need to prepare it in advance, wait to add the soda and sherbet until just before serving to maintain its effervescence.
