Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 (12-ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
- 1 quart lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite)
- 2 cups pineapple juice
Sherbet and Garnish
- 2 cups lime sherbet
- 4–6 drops green food coloring (optional for brighter color)
- Ice cubes
- Maraschino cherries (for garnish)

Instructions
- Combine Liquids: In a large punch bowl or pitcher, mix together the thawed limeade concentrate, lemon-lime soda, and pineapple juice. Stir gently until all ingredients are well combined.
- Add Sherbet: Scoop the lime sherbet in small amounts into the punch. Stir gently until the sherbet begins to melt, creating a frothy, creamy texture throughout the punch.
- Adjust Color: If desired, add 4 to 6 drops of green food coloring to enhance the vibrant green appearance. Stir gently to distribute the color evenly.

Notes
- To make an adult version, add 1 cup of vodka or rum to the punch.
- You can prepare the punch base ahead of time without adding soda or sherbet. Add these just before serving to maintain the fizz and creamy texture.
- Perfect for Christmas parties, holiday gatherings, or any festive occasion requiring a fun, colorful drink.
