Ingredients For Sherbet Punch

This is the punch or your next party. Whip this up for a non-alcoholic drink that kids and adults can enjoy. A party favorites drink in our book.

Sherbet – we used a rainbow sherbet. But you could do a plain lime sherbet, orange sherbet, etc.

Cherry Lemon Lime Soda – We reached for Cherry 7Up but you could always swap with Sierra Mist or even Sprite.

Gum drop Cadies – Make sure they are gum drops and not spice drops. The spice drops can flavor the punch in a weird way.

Whipped Cream – Make your own whipped cream or buy it in a can to swirl on top of each glass.

We used these 9 ounce clear plastic cups for serving up this sherbet Christmas punch.

How to Make

Full directions on how to make this party punch is in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a quick walk through.

Step One: Use an ice cream scoop and add one scoop of sherbet to each of the glasses. We did a large scoop, it was around 1/3rd of the cup. Now if you want you can do a couple scoops of sherbet.

Step Two: Now you will slowly pour the 7Up over the sherbet. So we did some with plain 7Up and others with cherry 7Up to offer different flavor choices. Feel free to make your usual flavor or create options like we did.

Step Three: Next top with your whipped cream. We added gum drops to a stir stick and placed in the cup.

Kitchen notes

Sherbet

– we used a sherbet blend, it had different flavors in the container. You can use any flavor you want. Lemon Lime Soda – So we used Cherry 7Up and plain 7Up, and did a mix so some cups were red and some were green. You can use just one flavor of pop if you want. Pitcher – If you want you can make a pitcher of this punch, instead of serving by the glass-full. Just pour in the pop, and then add scoops of sherbet on top. Then ladle the punch into glasses and enjoy.
