Easy Fix Punch
A refreshing and easy-to-make punch combining lime sherbet, cherry drink, and ginger ale, perfect for parties and gatherings to delight guests with fruity, fizzy flavors.
Ingredients
- 1/2 gal. lime sherbet
- 1 large can Hi-C cherry drink ⓘ
- 2 qt. ginger ale
Instructions
- Mix together the lime sherbet, Hi-C cherry drink, and ginger ale in a large container.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, let the lime sherbet soften slightly before mixing. You can substitute the Hi-C cherry drink with any fruit punch or cranberry juice for a different flavor profile. If you're looking for a healthier option, consider using sparkling water instead of ginger ale. This recipe is inspired by classic American recipes, making it a crowd-pleaser for any gathering.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this punch in a large bowl or pitcher for easy access, garnished with fresh fruit slices for added flair. It pairs beautifully with a light snack or dessert, such as the No Bake Blueberry Cake, making it perfect for summer parties or family gatherings. For a fun twist, consider adding a splash of vodka for adult gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
This punch is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store it in an airtight container in the freezer. When you're ready to enjoy it again, allow it to thaw slightly before serving, as the sherbet may freeze solid. Stir gently to reintroduce the flavors before serving.
