Scale
Drink Ingredients
- 1/2 gallon green Hawaiian punch, chilled
- 1 liter Sprite or 7-UP (diet preferred), chilled
- 4–5 scoops lime sherbet
- 1 cup strawberries, cut into heart shapes
Instructions
- Combine Punch: Pour the chilled green Hawaiian punch into a large pitcher to serve as the base of the punch.
- Add Soda: Stir in the chilled Sprite or lemon-lime soda gently to combine with the punch without losing much carbonation.
- Add Sherbet: Drop 4 to 5 generous scoops of lime sherbet directly into the pitcher. The sherbet will slowly melt, giving the punch a creamy texture and bright green color.
- Garnish with Strawberries: Add the heart-shaped strawberry slices into the punch for a festive touch and a hint of berry flavor.
- Serve: Pour the punch into glasses. For extra holiday cheer, garnish the rim of the glasses with colorful Christmas sprinkles if desired. Enjoy immediately for best flavor and fizz.
Notes
- Use diet lemon-lime soda to reduce sugar content if desired.
- Heart-shaped strawberries add a cute holiday theme but can be substituted with regular sliced strawberries.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fizz and the creamy texture of the sherbet before it melts completely.
- For a non-alcoholic punch, keep it as is or add festive straws and garnishes.
