Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. I often prep it in the morning by mixing the lemonade, water, and pineapple juice. Refrigerate until just before guests arrive and then add the soda and sherbet to keep the fizz fresh.

Can I use other flavors of sherbet or sorbet?

Absolutely. Berry or raspberry sherbet gives a lovely color and flavor. Sorbet works if you want a dairy-free option. Keep in mind the texture will be slightly different with sorbet.

How many people does this serve?

This recipe fills a 3-quart bowl and serves about 8 to 10 small cups, depending on how full you pour each glass. For larger gatherings, double the recipe and use a wider punch bowl.

Is the drink suitable for children and adults?

Yes. It is family friendly as written. For adult-only parties, you can add a small measure of sparkling wine or light spirit to individual glasses as desired.

How can I keep the punch from going flat?

Add the carbonated soda right before serving. If you need to prepare part of the punch ahead of time, keep the soda chilled and pour it in last.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a punch bowl, add the pink lemonade, water, pineapple juice, and sprite, then stir gently to keep bubbles.
Top with sliced lemons and scoop the sherbet over the top, allowing it to float.
You can mix gently or let the sherbet sit on top for a visual effect.
Add ice to keep it cold and let the punch settle for five minutes to develop foam.
Serve in chilled glasses or cups, allowing guests to scoop their servings.
Refill as needed, replacing lemon slices to maintain freshness.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, substitute sherbet with sorbet. Keep carbonated ingredients separate until serving for optimal fizz.
