What is Rainbow Sherbet Punch?
Sherbet punch is like that nostalgic drink you loved as a kid at family gatherings. I remember marveling at its incredible taste and creamy smoothness. Similar to a root beer float, it combines ice cream with a fizzy drink, creating a refreshing treat.

Sprite: Soda adds fun fizziness and bright citrus flavor. Pineapple Juice: Pineapple juice adds an acidity that balances out the sweetness.

Pineapple Slices: I love using fresh fruit as a garnish. It not only adds flavor but a gorgeous pop of color to the punch as well!
How Do You Make Sherbet Punch?
This punch only uses 4 ingredients and comes together so quickly. It is easy to make and feeds a crowd!
Change up your drink flavor: You can substitute the Sprite for any other lemon-lime soda, ginger ale, Mountain Dew, or Fresca. For a special twist, look for holiday flavors, like cranberry soda. Change up the sherbet flavor: Although rainbow sherbet is my favorite, you can use other sherbet for this recipe. You could try strawberry, pineapple, lemon, lime sherbet or any other flavor that catches your eye. Make it for Adults: You can make this a boozy adult punch by adding 1-2 cups of vodka or a bottle of champagne or Prosecco.
Chill Ahead of Time: Ensure the juices are chilled ahead of time! If you refrigerate your lemon-lime soda, pineapple juice, and Hawaiian punch overnight, they’ll be perfectly cold when you assemble the punch. Garnish your punch with slices of fresh pineapple, citrus, or berries! Make it Sweeter: The juice ratios in this recipe can be adjusted to your liking. As the sherbet melts the punch tends to become much more sweet. You can add more of any of the juices to balance things out as the sherbet melts. Soften Sherbet: Set your sherbet out on the counter for 10 minutes before scooping it into the punch. It will make it easier to scoop the sherbet and result in foam forming on the punch quicker. What do I serve sorbet punch in?: It’s great served in a punch bowl, but it can be served in a pitcher or a drink dispenser!
Can I Make Sherbet Punch Ahead? You can mix the pineapple juice and Hawaiian punch 2-3 days in advance and keep it chilled in the refrigerator, but adding the soda ahead of time will leave you with flat punch as the carbonation will dissipate. It’s best to add the soda and sherbet just before you serve this drink. In the Refrigerator: You can save leftover punch in a pitcher in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but the sherbet will be melted and the soda will go flat.
