Party Punch (Kid- Friendly)

KathleenP's Note:

This is a light, refreshing punch that is good for a party or shower...I made it for a family Christmas party and used lime sherbet, but I think any variety of sherbet would work well. At a family party of 25 people that had choices of soda-pop, beer, coffee, wine or punch--2/3 chose this punch, and several people asked for the recipe, including my 26 year old male cousin.

This was quite good. Loved the floating lemon & lime slices. Made an ice ring out of orange juice and limeade and it kept adding flavor as the ice melted. Made this for my daughter's 9th birthday and all the kids enjoyed it.

Oh man! Was this ever yummy! I used lime sherbet. Everything else was followed exactly. I only halved the recipe. This would be yummy with orange sherbet and orange/lime slices. I will have to make it again! Thanks for sharing. :) Made for Spring PAC 2009.

Ooh! I love this! I haven't had it for ages (we always used to make it for sleepovers with rainbow sherbet). Your family chose well--I would pick this over soda, beer, coffee, or wine anyday! Yum yum. Thanks so much for posting this--now I can make it myself.
