Scale
Liquid Ingredients
- 1 (12oz.) can frozen lemonade concentrate (thawed)
- 6 cups cranberry raspberry juice
- 6 cups lemon-lime soda
Dairy
- 1 quart orange sherbet
Fresh Fruit Garnishes
- 1 orange (sliced for garnish)
- ½ cup raspberries (for garnish)
Instructions
- Combine Liquids: Add the thawed lemonade concentrate, cranberry raspberry juice, and lemon-lime soda into a large punch bowl. Stir gently but thoroughly to mix all the liquids evenly without losing the soda’s fizz.
- Add Sherbet: Spoon scoops of orange sherbet on top of the combined liquid in the punch bowl. The sherbet adds a creamy texture and a burst of citrus flavor as it melts into the punch.
- Garnish and Serve: Decorate the punch with slices of fresh orange and a handful of raspberries. This not only adds visual appeal but also enhances the fruity flavors. Serve chilled immediately for best taste.
Notes
- Ensure the lemonade concentrate is fully thawed to blend smoothly.
- Use chilled cranberry raspberry juice and lemon-lime soda to keep the punch cool without dilution.
- For a non-alcoholic party option, this punch is perfect and enjoyable for all ages.
- To make it alcoholic, consider adding a splash of vodka or rum, but add this just before serving.
- The sherbet will continue to melt as the punch sits—serve promptly to enjoy the texture contrast.
