Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Rainbow sherbet
- 2 cups Pineapple juice
- 4 cups Lemon-lime soda
- 2 tablespoons Grenadine syrup
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 2 cups Ice cubes
Instructions
Chill the pineapple juice and lemon-lime soda in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before preparing the punch.
In a large punch bowl or pitcher, combine the chilled pineapple juice with the lemon-lime soda. Stir gently to mix.
Drizzle the grenadine syrup into the punch mixture and give it a light stir to create a sunset-like swirl of color.
Add the ice cubes to keep the punch cool and refreshing.
Use a small ice cream scoop to scoop the rainbow sherbet into small, round balls. Gently place the sherbet scoops into the punch, allowing them to float on top like colorful polka dots.
Optionally, garnish the punch with fresh mint leaves for an added touch of freshness and aroma.
Serve immediately in individual cups, making sure to include both liquid and a scoop of sherbet in each serving. Enjoy!
