This orange sherbet punch recipe is so easy to make and it’s the most delicious drink to serve at family gatherings, baby showers, graduation parties, bridal showers, or holiday get-togethers. It makes a pretty large batch, which is great for serving a crowd!

We love to serve this punch at all of our holidays! This recipe is great and can be easily adapted (see below).

With each individual holiday, there comes a big batch of get-togethers! With all these parties, it can be hard to think of creative food items to bring or serve, that everyone will enjoy. Thinking about what to serve as a drink is in a whole other ballpark!

Sherbet Punch Ingredients

Here are the ingredients needed to put together your sherbet punch. There are only 5 simple things you need. I usually just make a quick stop at the grocery store to pick up these items when I know I will be making this punch.

• One 12 ounce can of frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
• One 2 liter bottle of lemon-lime soda, chilled
• 1 can (46 ounces) of pineapple juice, chilled
• 1 quart of orange sherbet

How to Make Punch with Sherbet

As I said, I don’t think this recipe could be any easier to put together. There are only 3 steps it takes to make it.

STEP ONE

Prepare the orange juice. To do this, just follow the package instructions. Once finished, you can pour the orange juice directly into your punch bowl.

STEP TWO

Stir in the specified amounts of chilled soda and pineapple juice. Add these directly to the punch bowl as well.

STEP THREE

Top the punch with scoops of orange sherbet! I usually do about 9 or 10 scoops. If you notice that all of the scoops are gone and there is still punch left you can always add more later!

It is important to serve your punch immediately, otherwise, the sherbet may totally melt!

Like I mentioned, feel free to play with the flavors and colors! We made this version for Halloween! But it can be easily adapted for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Eve, a birthday party and honestly any holiday or party!

PRO TIPS

Making a sherbet punch is really simple, but as with any recipe, the more you make it the more tricks and tips you find to make it even easier for yourself!

• One trick I have learned is that when I am preparing the punch for a group of people, I usually get it all ready in the punch bowl, but I hold off on putting in the scoops of sherbet. I store the liquid in the punch bowl in the fridge up until the second I am ready to serve it. Then, I’ll take it out and add in the scoops of sherbet!
• Also, another tip is that you can keep adding scoops of sherbet as the day or evening goes on. If all of the scoops are taken right away and there is still liquid left to be served, just add in a few more scoops!
• Take the sherbet out of the freezer a few minutes before you plan to scoop it into the punch mix so that it has time to thaw a little bit and you’ll be able to get a really nice looking rounded scoop!
• I have found that 1 quart of sherbet is plenty, but if you have a big group and everyone loves the sherbet… you can do more! Just keep adding those scoops in.
• Adjust the recipe to taste. Want it sweeter, add more juice, less sweet, more soda. Alcohol? Go for it!
• As the sherbet melts, the punch will get sweeter, so keep some extra soda and juice on the side to add in as the party goes on.
• Want to add a pop of color? Try freezing fruit to add in right before you serve the punch!

What type of soda do I use in Orange Sherbet Punch?

I like to use 7-Up, Sierra Mist or Sprite in my punch. I think lemon-lime soda makes for a classic taste. However, I have seen other recipes that get creative and switch this up!

I have seen some use cranberry sprite instead, which gives it a really nice flavor and changes up the color. The red-pink color of the cranberry sprite with the orange sherbet scoops looks really nice!

I have also seen people use ginger ale as well!

If you’re unsure, I would say that any lemon-lime or cranberry lemon-lime soda will do the trick for your sherbet punch!

What type of punch bowl should I use to make a Sherbet Punch Recipe?

You really can use any type of large bowl or even a trifle bowl will work. I love to use a clear glass bowl so you can really see the foam! Here are a few punch bowls I love!

• Footed Punch Bowl
• Plastic Heavyweight Punch Bowl
• Punchbowl Set
• Punch Bowl Plastic Ladles
