Notes

  • For a sugar-free version, use diet soda and low-calorie punch.
  • Dairy-free sherbet is a great option for guests with lactose intolerance.
  • For an adult version, add rum, vodka, or champagne.
  • Freeze extra punch mixture into cubes to keep it cold without dilution.
  • Best served fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
