Sherbet Punch Recipe

We’re throwing back to the old days today with this classic sherbet punch recipe. I remember sipping on sweet, cool, sherbet punch at baby showers, bridal showers, weddings, church potlucks, family reunions…and even small holiday family dinners. Sherbet punch is so versatile and it’s easy to make.

Strawberry Sherbet Punch

Red punch fits so many different holidays and seasons, so we decided to whip up a strawberry sherbet punch. We used strawberry Kool Aid and strawberry Jello as the base for this recipe. It made a gorgeous red color that is pretty as a Christmas punch, Valentine’s Day punch or July 4th punch. Cool strawberry flavor is good any time of the year, right?

Sherbet punch is easy to whip up last minute…or you can make the punch base in advance and add the soda and sherbet last minute. Here’s how to do it:

  • Dissolve the strawberry gelatin in boiling water. Set it aside.
  • Dissolve the Kool Aid in a large punch bowl with 2 quarts of cold water. Add in the sugar and mix it well.
  • Add the strawberry gelatin mixture to the punch bowl and mix.
  • Mix in the pineapple juice.
  • This is base of your punch. If you’re not serving it immediately, place the punch in the refrigerator at this point.
  • Right before serving, add the soda. Taste the punch to make sure it doesn’t need more sugar or soda.
  • Scoop out the sherbet and place it in the punch bowl. You can just place the whole block of sherbet in or you can use an ice cream scoop to scoop out the sherbet in smaller scoops to place in the punch.

If I do not have Kool aid in my country, what can I use as a substitute?
