Ingredients You’ll Need

Main Ingredients

  • 1 liter lemon-lime soda (Sprite or 7-Up work great!) 🍋🥤

  • 2 cups pineapple juice (adds a tropical sweetness) 🍍

  • 1 quart rainbow sherbet (creates a creamy, colorful swirl) 🍨

  • 1 cup fruit punch or pink lemonade (for extra fruity flavor) 🍓💖

  • Ice (to keep it chilled) �

Optional Garnishes

  • Rainbow sprinkles (for a fun, festive touch) 🌈

  • Citrus slices (lemon, lime, or orange for freshness) 🍊

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Combine the Juices

In a large punch bowl, pour in the pineapple juice and fruit punch (or pink lemonade). Stir gently to blend the flavors.

💡 Pro Tip: For a stronger tropical taste, try adding a splash of coconut water or mango juice!

2. Add the Sherbet

Scoop generous portions of rainbow sherbet into the bowl. The sherbet will slowly melt, creating a creamy, dreamy swirl effect.

3. Pour in the Soda

Slowly add the lemon-lime soda to keep the fizziness intact. Stir lightly—just enough to mix but not so much that it loses its bubbly texture.

4. Chill with Ice

Add a handful of ice cubes to keep the punch cool and refreshing.

⚠ Note: If serving over a long period, consider using an ice ring (frozen juice in a bundt pan) to prevent dilution.

5. Garnish & Serve

Sprinkle rainbow sprinkles on top and float citrus slices for a bright, Instagram-worthy presentation!
