Scale
- 2 liters of lemon-lime soda (e.g., Sprite or 7UP), chilled
- 1 liter of pineapple juice, chilled
- 1 packet (0.13 oz) lime-flavored drink mix (e.g., Kool-Aid or similar)
- 1 liter of lime sherbet
- Red sanding sugar or red sugar crystals (for garnish, optional)
- Honey or corn syrup (to rim glasses, optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the glasses (optional):
- Dip the rims of serving glasses in honey or corn syrup, then coat them with red sugar crystals to create a festive look. Set aside to dry.
2. Mix the punch:
- In a large punch bowl, combine the lemon-lime soda, pineapple juice, and lime-flavored drink mix. Stir gently until the mix is fully dissolved.
3. Add the sherbet:
- Add scoops of lime sherbet to the punch bowl. It will foam and create a fun, frothy texture.
4. Serve:
- Ladle the punch into prepared glasses and enjoy immediately!
Notes
- For an adult version, you can add a splash of vodka, rum, or tequila.
- If you don’t have lime sherbet, vanilla ice cream with a few drops of green food coloring can be a fun substitute.
- Garnish with candy canes or green maraschino cherries for extra holiday cheer.
