Classic sherbet punch may be a bit old-fashioned, but in the best way. It’s a very sweet nonalcoholic party drink<\/a>, and it appeals to party-goers of all ages. It’s also a striking centerpiece to any party spread, from baby showers<\/a> to holiday gatherings.<\/p>\n As a child, I spent every Christmas Eve at my grandma’s house, sampling the buffet table’s array of perfect party recipes<\/a>: pigs in a blanket, pretzels, cookies. But the absolute best part of the spread? A big cut-glass punch bowl filled to the rim with sherbet punch. Huge scoops of pastel-colored sherbet floated on top, surrounded by gently hissing bubbles of soda pop. Ladling a big scoop into a mug was like the official start of the party.<\/p>\n To jumpstart any party, try our sherbet punch recipe. Here’s how to make it, with plenty of ideas for variations.<\/p>\n In a large punch bowl, combine the pineapple juice, orange juice, limeade concentrate and lemonade concentrate.<\/p>\n Stir in the ginger ale. Be gentle, so as not to stir up too many bubbles.<\/p>\n Add scoops of lemon or pineapple, lime and orange sherbet straight into the bowl. You may want to alternate scoops of each flavor to make for a colorful presentation. Sherbet punch waits for no man! Serve the punch immediately.<\/p>\n Sadly, sherbet punch does not keep well. The fizz of the ginger ale will go flat, and the creamy, frozen scoops of sherbet will dissolve entirely. If you’re serving sherbet punch for a smaller party, you may scale the recipe down. Either reduce every ingredient by the same ratio, or omit one or two flavors of sherbet. The punch will still taste delicious.<\/p>\n Sherbet punch should be enjoyed immediately after it’s made. However, you can do some of the work in advance. Step 1, mixing all of the fruit juices, can be done a day in advance. Keep the juices in the fridge until ready to proceed with the recipe. Adding fizzy soda and sherbet must be done just before serving.<\/p>\n Yes! Sherbet punch makes a delicious dairy-free dessert<\/a>. Simply substitute dairy-free sherbet, if you can find it, or sorbet<\/a>. Use whichever fruit flavors you enjoy. The punch may be slightly less creamy; if this is bothersome, reduce the amount of ginger ale slightly to thicken the punch.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fizzy, creamy, fruity sherbet punch is always the first bowl on the buffet table to empty.
