Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 4 cups Cherry juice or cherry drink (like cherry juice cocktail)
  • 4 cups Limeade (bottled limeade is totally fine) Chilled
  • 4 cups Lemon-lime soda or ginger ale Chilled
Toppings
  • 2 cups Lime sherbet Can substitute with rainbow or raspberry sherbet
  • 1 Fresh limes for slices Optional but cute
  • 1 cup Maraschino cherries Optional but very on theme
  • as needed cups Ice Only if your ingredients are not already very cold

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chill all ingredients first for best results.
  2. Pour the cherry juice and limeade into a large punch bowl and give it a quick stir.
Mixing
  1. Slowly add the soda to maintain the bubbles.
  2. Scoop the sherbet on top in several big scoops.
  3. Add lime slices and cherries for presentation, and let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the sherbet to melt and create foam.
Serving
  1. Ladle the punch into cups, ensuring each glass gets a bit of sherbet swirl.

Notes

To keep the drink fizzy and creamy, add the soda last and serve immediately. For more adult versions, consider adding vodka or rum on the side. Adjust sweetness by tasting and modifying with lime or extra soda as necessary.
