Sherbert Punch

As the kiddos are older, I thought it would be fun to make them a special mocktail for the Thanksgiving festivities. I remember drinking a mixture of Sprite with Minute Maid fruit punch, and how much I loved it. I recently went to a baby shower where the host made a punchbowl full of a sherbert topped mocktail. It reminded me of backyard weddings I attended during my childhood in a small town. I couldn’t get all the ingredients together for the punch below, but thought I’d keep it for the future. The rainbow sherbert melted into this grey mess. Although the kids still loved it, I would use a one-flavor variety to avoid the color blending.

Combine:

• 1 liter Sprite, Squirt or Ginger ale
• 1 liter club soda (or more to dampen the sweetness)
• 6 oz frozen Minute Maid fruit punch
• 6 oz frozen pineapple juice
• Raspberry sherbert (add right before serving)
• Garnish with fruit
