Ingredients
Instructions

- Repeat the blending process with the remaining ingredients and add to the punch bowl.
- Stir in the thawed, undrained frozen raspberries.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, let the raspberry sherbet soften slightly before blending. You can substitute the ginger ale with lemon-lime soda for a different flavor profile. If you want a non-carbonated version, replace ginger ale with coconut water. This Raspberry Frost makes a refreshing Summertime Drink for gatherings.
