Tips for Making the Perfect Sherbet Punch
Before making the punch, place your punch bowl in the freezer for 30 minutes or more before adding any ingredients.
Also, make sure your soda is also cold – the colder everything is, the longer your punch stays fizzy and refreshing.
Rainbow sherbet is classic, but don't be afraid to get creative with flavors. Try a single flavor like lime, orange, or raspberry, or mix and match a few favorites.
Make it pretty! Add maraschino cherries, fresh fruit slices, or even edible glitter for a sparkly touch.
