Ingredients

Scale

Drink Components

  • 1/2 gallon green Hawaiian punch, chilled
  • 1 liter Sprite or 7-UP (diet preferred), chilled
  • 45 scoops lime sherbet
  • 1 cup strawberries, cut into heart shapes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the strawberries. Wash the strawberries thoroughly, hull them by removing the green leafy tops, and carefully cut each into heart shapes to add a festive visual element to the punch.
  2. Combine the Hawaiian punch and soda. In a large punch bowl, pour the chilled green Hawaiian punch and chilled Sprite or 7-UP together. Gently stir to mix the flavors.
  3. Add the lime sherbet. Using a large spoon or scoop, add 4 to 5 generous scoops of lime sherbet on top of the punch mixture. The sherbet will slowly melt and add a creamy texture and tartness.
  4. Incorporate the strawberries. Gently float the heart-shaped strawberries on top of the punch. This adds a decorative and flavorful element to the drink.
  5. Serve immediately. Use a ladle to serve the punch into cups, making sure each serving has some sherbet and strawberries for a balanced, festive experience.

Notes

  • Use diet soda to reduce sugar content if desired.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, this punch is perfect as is, but you can add a splash of lemon-lime soda for extra fizz.
  • Prepare the punch just before serving to maintain the sherbet’s texture and the fizz of the soda.
  • Heart-shaped strawberries can be made with a small knife or specialized fruit cutter for an appealing presentation.
  • To make the punch more colorful, consider adding other fruits like pineapple chunks or green grapes.
