Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • Green Sherbet (about 1 quart)
  • 2 cups Lemon-Lime Soda (chilled)
  • 4 cups Pineapple Juice (chilled)
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Lime Juice (approximately 2 limes)
  • Ice Cubes (to taste)
  • Green Food Coloring (optional, a few drops)

Optional Alcoholic Ingredients

  • 1/2 to 1 cup Vodka or Rum (optional, for adult version)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather green sherbet, lemon-lime soda, pineapple juice, and freshly squeezed lime juice. If desired, have green food coloring ready for a more vibrant hue.
  2. Combine the Juice and Soda: In a large punch bowl, pour in the pineapple juice and freshly squeezed lime juice. Slowly add the lemon-lime soda to maintain fizz, stirring gently to blend the flavors.
  3. Add Sherbet for Creaminess: Spoon dollops of green sherbet into the punch bowl. Allow it to melt slightly, which will add creamy texture and thicken the punch.
  4. Adjust Color and Flavor: Stir in a few drops of green food coloring if a deeper green is desired. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more pineapple juice or lime juice as needed.
  5. Add Ice and Optional Alcohol: Add ice cubes to chill the punch. For an adult version, add vodka or rum and stir gently to combine.

Notes

  • Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor brightness.
  • Chill soda and pineapple juice beforehand to avoid diluting the punch with excess ice.
  • Add sherbet last to preserve the punch’s carbonation.
  • Taste test as you mix to adjust sweetness and tartness.
  • Serve the punch immediately for the freshest flavor and fizz.
