OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

If you have a smaller punch bowl or smaller number of guests, you can cut this recipe in half for a smaller batch.

STEP ONE: Using a large punch bowl, add the 6 ounces of thawed limeade, Hawaiian punch, and lemon-lime soda.

PRO TIP:

To keep your punch cold for an extended period of time, you could freeze some orange juice or even Hawaiian Punch into ice cubes so that as it melts, the punch doesn’t get watered down.

Storage

Here’s how to prep your punch ahead of time, ready for your party.

IN THE FRIDGE: If you wanted to make your rainbow punch a couple of hours ahead of time, you can.

Just wait to pour soda in and add the sherbet until right before serving it and cover your punch bowl with plastic wrap.

You can also store any leftovers in the refrigerator, but it loses any fizz, and the sherbet melts very quickly.

IN THE FREEZER: We don’t recommend trying to freeze this punch. It needs to be made and served fresh.
