Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cup lime sherbet, slightly softened let sit 5 minutes at room temp
- 3 cup pineapple juice, chilled
- 6 cup lemon-lime soda, cold use regular, not diet, for best color and foam
- 0.25 tsp green food coloring optional, for a deeper green
- 2 cup ice cubes
- 4 oz maraschino cherries, drained for garnish
- 0.5 cup lime slices for garnish
- 0.5 tsp vanilla extract optional, for rounder flavor
- 2 tbsp light corn syrup for rimming glasses
- 3 tbsp red sanding sugar for rimming glasses
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Chill the pineapple juice and soda until very cold. Soften sherbet for 5 minutes on the counter.
- Pour corn syrup on a small plate and red sanding sugar on another. Dip glass rims in syrup, then coat with sugar. Set aside.
- Add scoops of lime sherbet to a large punch bowl.
- Pour in pineapple juice and vanilla extract, then gently stir to start melting the sherbet.
- Slowly add the lemon-lime soda down the side of the bowl to keep the fizz. Stir lightly.
- Tint with a few drops of green food coloring if desired. Add ice, lime slices, and cherries.
- Ladle into the sugared glasses and serve right away while frothy.
Notes
For an adults-only twist, swap 1 to 1.5 cups of the soda with coconut rum or vodka. Prefer a lighter option? Use lemon-lime seltzer and a touch more sherbet for sweetness. Keep soda and sherbet chilled separately and combine just before serving for the best bubbles. Leftovers lose fizz quickly; refrigerate up to 24 hours and top with fresh soda to revive.
