Ingredients
Scale
- 1 quart (950 g) green lime sherbet (small-curd sherbet recommended)
- 2 liters (67 fl oz) lime soda (e.g., Sprite or 7-Up)
- 2 medium-sized fresh limes, juiced and zested
- Green food coloring (optional, a few drops)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- Ice cubes or frozen lime slices as needed
Instructions
- Chill the lime sherbet, lime soda, and glasses in the fridge about an hour before preparing.
- Juice and zest the limes using a citrus juicer; set zest aside for garnish.
- Scoop about 1 quart (950 g) of lime sherbet into a large punch bowl or beverage dispenser.
- Pour the freshly squeezed lime juice over the sherbet.
- Slowly add 2 liters (67 fl oz) of lime soda to the bowl and stir gently with a long-handled spoon to combine without flattening the fizz.
- Add a few drops of green food coloring if a brighter green color is desired and stir lightly.
- Float ice cubes or frozen lime slices on top to keep the punch cold without watering it down.
- Garnish with lime zest and fresh mint leaves.
- Serve immediately, ladling into glasses ensuring each serving has sherbet and fizz. Keep extras chilled and stir gently before refilling.
Notes
Chill all ingredients beforehand to keep punch refreshing without needing too much ice. Stir gently to preserve soda fizz. Use fresh lime juice and zest for best flavor. Keep extra sherbet on hand to add during the party if punch becomes flat. For dairy-free, substitute lime sherbet with dairy-free lime sorbet. For sugar-free, use diet lime soda or sparkling water with fresh lime juice.
