Ingredients
Scale
Base Mix
- 1 packet of lemon-lime Kool-Aid mix
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 2 cups of cold water
Fruit and Soda
- 2 cups of pineapple juice
- 1 liter of lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite or 7UP)
Additional Ingredients
- 1/2 gallon of lime sherbet
- Red sanding sugar for rimming glasses (optional)

Instructions
- Prepare the Punch Base: In a large punch bowl, combine the lemon-lime Kool-Aid mix, sugar, and cold water. Stir thoroughly until the sugar is fully dissolved to ensure a smooth and balanced flavor base.
- Add Juices and Soda: Pour in the pineapple juice and lemon-lime soda into the punch bowl. Stir gently to mix all the liquids without losing too much carbonation.
- Add Lime Sherbet: Scoop the lime sherbet into the punch. Allow it to float and create a foamy, festive layer on top, adding both flavor and a creamy texture.
- Rim Glasses (Optional): For a decorative touch, moisten the rims of serving glasses and dip them into red sanding sugar to create a bright, holiday-themed presentation.
- Add Ice and Serve: Add ice cubes to the punch bowl or individual glasses to keep the drink chilled. Serve immediately to enjoy the refreshing taste and appealing presentation.
Notes
- Substitute lemon-lime soda with ginger ale for a different flavor profile.
- Add green food coloring if you desire a more vibrant green color.
- This recipe can be easily doubled or halved to accommodate different party sizes.
