Ingredient Notes

- Lemon lime soda: Sprite, 7-Up, Starry lemon lime soda or even Mountain Dew taste great in this lime sherbet punch, although I love using soda that does not contain caffeine.
- Lime sherbet: For a green punch, lime sherbet works best for color and flavor. Other flavors will change the color.
- Pineapple juice: You can used canned pineapple juice or from a bottle.
- Lime slices and green food coloring (optional): To achieve a bright green look and garnish the festive punch.
How to Make Green Punch
Pour the Sprite and 3 cups of pineapple juice into a punch bowl. Add a few drops of green food coloring if desired to make it more green.
Add scoopfuls of sherbet slowly to the punch. You don’t have to use it all if you prefer less sherbet in the green punch. Ladle into cups and serve immediately!
Tips and Variations
- Use green Hawaiian punch or lemon lime Kool-Aid for a non-fizzy punch that is soda free, too.
- This green punch recipe tastes great with Ginger Ale instead of lemon lime soda.
- Add a red sugared rim for Grinch sherbet punch at Christmas, call it slime punch for birthdays, Ghostbusters punch at Halloween or serve it for St. Patrick’s Day punch!
- Change the flavor of sherbet and change the color of the party punch. Orange sherbet for Halloween punch or try a rainbow sherbet or raspberry sherbet for spring and summer parties.
- Garnish green punch with lime slices, cute drink toppers and fun striped straws. For an adult party, adding basil leaves adds a festive touch.

Does is have to be green sherbet?
Sarah @IHeartNaptime
Lime sherbert will contribute to turning the punch green, other flavors won’t, but technically you can use whatever sherbert you like :)
