Fun Party Punch

Filed under: food — K @ 1:49 AM

Spring party season is coming up and it’s time to start planning! This will make a tasty addition to all the baby showers, bridal showers, and graduations coming up. I got the following recipe for a fun party punch from my mom who got it from one of her coworkers. It’s super easy and tastes good.

This is one of those recipes that don’t have specific measurements – it’s pretty much up to the maker. There is a happy medium and you’ll find it!

The recipe calls for just three ingredients:

2 quarts prepared fruit drink (for example – KoolAid… I made mine raspberry flavored)
A container of sherbet/sorbet of coordinating flavor (I used raspberry sherbet)
2 liters 7-Up

Pour fruit drink so it fills about half of a punch bowl.

Next, little by little add in the 7-Up – this is where you taste test. The right amount will taste like fizzy KoolAid – not too little that it tastes like flat flavored pop and not too much that it tastes like 7-Up.

Add a few scoops of sherbet/sorbet…

(Sorry for the messy photo – this was New Year’s Eve and we had some friends over!)

It will melt….

And finally give a frothy look to the top of the punch while adding some more flavor! Fun, easy, delicious!
