Scale
Liquid Ingredients
- 1/2 gallon green Hawaiian punch, chilled
- 1 liter Sprite or 7-UP (diet preferred), chilled
Dairy
- 4–5 scoops lime sherbet
Fruit Garnish
- 1 cup strawberries, cut into heart shapes
Instructions
- Chill the Drinks: Ensure both the green Hawaiian punch and the soda are thoroughly chilled before preparing to keep the punch cold and refreshing without excessive dilution from ice.
- Mix Punch and Soda: In a large punch bowl or container, combine the 1/2 gallon of green Hawaiian punch with 1 liter of chilled Sprite or 7-UP. Stir gently to blend the flavors evenly.
- Add Lime Sherbet: Scoop 4 to 5 generous scoops of lime sherbet into the punch mixture. The sherbet will begin to melt, creating a frothy, creamy texture and intensifying the lime flavor.
- Prepare Strawberry Garnish: While the sherbet melts slightly, wash and hull 1 cup of strawberries, then carefully cut each into heart shapes for a festive and attractive garnish.
- Garnish and Serve: Float the heart-shaped strawberries on top of the punch. Serve immediately with punch cups or glasses, using a ladle for easy portioning.

- Cutting strawberries into heart shapes adds a charming festive touch ideal for holiday parties.
- Serve the punch immediately after preparation to enjoy optimal frothy texture and chilled temperature.
