Ingredients

  • 1 quart pineapple sherbet frozen
  • 2 liters ginger ale chilled
  • 33 ounces mango nectar chilled
  • 2 cups pineapple juice chilled
  • 12 ounces guava nectar chilled
  • 4 limes
  • maraschino cherries optional garnish
  • mint leaves optional garnish

Instructions

  • Scoop sherbet out into a large punch bowl.
  • Pour in pineapple juice, mango and guava nectars, and ginger ale. Mix ingredients well to form a uniform punch.
  • Garnish punch with fresh mint leaves and maraschino cherries, as desired.
  • The punch will separate into two distinct layers over time: an orange/pink liquid on the bottom and a yellow, foamy layer on top. Scooping the punch from bottom to top will get some of each layer. Otherwise, just stir to mix it up again.

Notes

  • Chill all ingredients ahead of time. The frozen sherbet will help keep things cool, which makes it an easy punch for a party as you don't need to worry about ice. That said, start out with every single ingredient being as cold as possible.
  • Can I make this punch ahead of time? Absolutely. Just combine all ingredients except for the sherbet and garnishes then refrigerate. Scoop out the sherbet, give it a stir, and add garnishes just before serving.
  • What else can I add to my punch? You can really customize this to suit your taste, which means switching out the soda, nectar, juice, or sherbet. Sparkling water is a good soda substitute if you'd like to make your punch lighter and lower on sugar!
  • Can I use other sherbet flavors? Absolutely! Lime and orange sherbet would work well here. Also, Hawaiian Punch + rainbow sherbet is a longstanding southern punch recipe that hits the mark on simplicity.
  • Slap the mint! This brings out the mint oil, which holds all the refreshing flavor, so give each leaf a slap before adding to your punch and serving.
