A quick and easy three-ingredient rainbow sherbet punch that’s perfect for any party. Creamy, fizzy, and citrusy, this crowd-pleasing drink comes together in minutes and is always the first thing to disappear.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 quarts (about 6 cups) rainbow sherbet
  • 2 liters lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite or 7UP), chilled
  • 2 cups pineapple juice, chilled
  • Fresh fruit slices (oranges, lemons, limes, or strawberries) for garnish (optional)
  • Splash of grenadine for extra color and sweetness (optional)
  • Mint sprigs for garnish (optional)
  • 1 cup vodka, white rum, or prosecco for adult version (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chill the soda and pineapple juice in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving. Keep the sherbet in the freezer until ready to assemble.
  2. Set up your punch bowl on the serving table. Place a cloth napkin or towel underneath to catch condensation.
  3. Pour 2 cups of chilled pineapple juice into the punch bowl. If making the adult version, add the alcohol now and stir to combine.
  4. Slowly pour the entire 2-liter bottle of chilled lemon-lime soda into the bowl. Pour gently to preserve carbonation.
  5. Using an ice cream scoop, make 6-8 large scoops of rainbow sherbet and gently drop them into the punch bowl. Do not stir yet.
  6. Let the punch rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the sherbet to start melting and create a creamy layer on top.
  7. Stir gently once or twice with a ladle to incorporate the melting sherbet without breaking up all the scoops.
  8. Garnish with fresh fruit slices or mint sprigs if desired.
  9. Serve immediately, ladling into cups and ensuring each serving gets some of the melting sherbet.

Notes

Keep the sherbet frozen until the last minute to ensure it melts slowly. Don’t over-stir the punch; just a couple of gentle stirs is plenty. For best results, chill all ingredients overnight. If serving for more than an hour, keep extra sherbet in the freezer and add fresh scoops to revive the bubbles. This punch does not store well; serve immediately.
