A sparkling, fruity summer punch made with tropical flavors and simple ingredients
Print Recipe
- 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
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.
- 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.
