how to make Sherbet Punch

Ingredients :

• 1/2 gallon rainbow sherbet, slightly softened
• 1 (64-ounce) bottle chilled pineapple juice
• 1 (2-liter) bottle chilled lemon-lime soda
• Fresh pineapple slices and raspberries for garnish (optional)

Directions :

1. Scoop the slightly softened sherbet into a large punch bowl. Scooping it while still mostly frozen will help it keep its shape and melt more slowly in the punch.
2. Pour the chilled pineapple juice over the scoops of sherbet in the punch bowl.
3. Slowly pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda. Pour down the side of the bowl to retain more carbonation. Gently stir to combine.
4. If desired, garnish the punch with fresh pineapple slices and raspberries.
5. Serve the sherbet punch immediately in cups or glasses while the sherbet is still slightly frozen and the punch is nicely chilled. Enjoy!
