Pink Strawberry Sherbet Punch

Sherbet punch was always a party punch that I always looked forward to having growing up. Mixing up various flavors of sherbet, juice and soda to create the color for any theme made it an ideal punch. Over the weekend, I threw a fun Elephant & Piggie party for my kids and thought a pink “pig” punch would work perfect for the theme. My boys were more than happy to help me create this pink Strawberry Sherbet Punch recipe.
How to Make Strawberry Sherbet Punch
For this Strawberry Sherbet Punch recipe, I wanted to have two light pink ingredients to get the pig color I wanted. I opted for a strawberry lemonade and strawberry sherbet. Raspberry sherbet would also work well.
For any sherbet punch I’ve made, pineapple juice is always a given. I love the sweet flavor it offers without altering the color.
While I tend to stay away from sodas as much as possible, especially for my kids, in this recipe it is a must. Several years ago I tried to make sherbet punch without soda to make it healthier and avoid the fizzy aspect for my oldest son isn’t who isn’t a big fan. Don’t do this.
Sherbet Punch Tips
For this recipe I’ve used much less soda than most sherbet punch recipes, but some is necessary to help break down the sherbet. I make my sherbet punch with ginger ale but any lemon-lime soda will also work.
Another trick I’ve learned is to always pour some (or all) of the soda directly over the sherbet to break it down. I like to still put half into the punch bowl before the sherbet so I can stir some of it in, but that is up to you.
This time I tried using two different sizes of scoops of sherbet. I loved how well this worked. The smaller scoops will break down pretty fast. The larger scoops will take longer which is great if your punch will be sitting a little while.
If your sherbet runs out and you still have a lot of of base punch left, you can always add more sherbet and pour a bit more ginger ale over the top to stretch it.
This pink party punch works great for any celebration including birthday parties, baby showers and wedding showers. It is always a crowd favorite here!

I love this kind of punch. I will have to try the juice variations you used in this, it looks good.
This does look soo good, and I’m glad to find out ahead of time don’t use a non-fizzy type soda!
What a pretty color. Seems very refreshing too! Great for a hot summer day.
Where did you but strawberry sherbet, I cannot find it where I live
My local grocery store in Minnesota carries many different fun varieties. I found big box stores like Walmart didn’t have as many flavor options. Do you live in an area with Kemps? That is the brand I use and they have a ton of great flavors! https://www.kemps.com/filter/sherbet/
