Ingredients
  

  • 1 quart Lime Sherbet
  • 46 oz Pineapple Juice (100% pure)
  • 2 liters Ginger Ale or Lemon-Lime Soda
  • 1/4 cup Red Sanding Sugar
  • 1 wedge Lime (for rim)
  • 1 drop Green Food Gel (optional)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Method
 

  1. At least 4 hours before serving, chill your pineapple juice and ginger ale in the refrigerator. Also, chill your punch bowl to keep the sherbet from melting too quickly.
  2. Prepare your serving glasses by running a lime wedge around the rim. Dip the rim into red sanding sugar and set aside to dry for 10 minutes.
  3. In a large chilled punch bowl, combine the pineapple juice and ginger ale. If using, add a drop of green food gel and stir until the color is even.
  4. Scoop the lime sherbet and drop scoops into the punch. Place them close together to form a frothy layer as the carbonation activates the sherbet.
  5. For garnish, float a few maraschino cherries or lime slices on top of the foam for extra color and texture.
  6. Ladle the punch into the prepared glasses, ensuring each glass has a portion of the frothy foam. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

This non-alcoholic punch is not only visually stunning but also a crowd-pleaser with its tropical taste and delightful texture. The perfect blend of pineapple juice, lime sherbet, and ginger ale, topped with a red sugar rim, makes this the ultimate festive treat!
