What Punch Ingredients do you need to make Rainbow Sherbet Punch?

Rainbow Sherbet Punch is made with just 3 ingredients:

Hawaiian Fruit Punch
Sprite
Rainbow Sherbet

That’s it! Once you have these 3 ingredients, you simply add equal parts of Hawaiian Punch and Sprite to the punch bowl and top it with the Rainbow Sherbet. Sprite has always been the best lemon-lime soda to use, do not use club soda as there is no sweetness, and it will not taste the same.

The punch ingredients will be combined into a large punch bowl with equal parts, stir together, and then use an ice cream scoop to scoop the sherbet into the punch bowl. We keep the carton on hand to add scoop as needed when serving.

How should you garnish this easy punch recipe?

If you prefer to garnish the punch, it can be garnished with flavors that will enhance the sherbet, such as fresh fruit, strawberries, or raspberries. The best garnish, though, is the sherbet ice cream right on top!

Why do you have to use Sherbet Ice Cream for Sherbet Punch?

Using sherbet is a must as it foams up with the carbonation of the soda and gives the right consistency and texture with punch. The sherbet will create the fizzing on top of the punch.

Sherbet is made with fruit and water, it does have dairy too but not at the same level as traditional ice cream, which is not the same. To get vibrant colors, use Rainbow Sherbet; however, Orange Sherbet, Lemon-Lime Sherbet, Strawberry Sherbet, or Raspberry Sherbet will work just as well. The flavor of sherbet will directly enhance the flavor of your punch.

So if you are making sherbet punch or this Rainbow Sherbet Punch…don’t skip the actual ‘sherbet. ‘ It will not turn out the same without a traditional sherbet.

Rainbow Sherbet Punch is ALWAYS the hit of every party and will be for yours too. It’s a colorful, fun addition, with the perfect level of sweetness and even considered to be a great Unicorn Punch too if you are looking for that for an upcoming party.

If you are looking for even more punch recipes, this Lemonade Punch is a great one too. It’s one we used at a baby shower, too.

What punch bowl should you use?

I also wanted to share this punch bowl too, this is a more updated version of the one I use, Anchor Hocking Presence Cake Dome Set. This is a large punch bowl and perfect to use for the sherbet punch.

This one can be used as a punch bowl, cake stand, or for trifle desserts. So I like to use it for a variety of options.

Can you add Alcohol to Sherbet Punch?

Our punch has always been served kid-friendly, but you can make an adult version with a little bit of rum or vodka.

How do you store sherbet punch?

The punch can be prepped ahead by combining the soda with the fruit punch. Place a plastic wrap over the punch bowl and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. When ready to serve, add the sherbet.

Use a ladle to carefully pour the punch into your favorite glass with this great original recipe with a delicious taste.
