Here are a couple of recipes, if interested. http://www.ehow.com/how_2166038_make-sherbet-punch.html http://www.babyshowerscentral.com/recipes5.shtml Cynthia Addison - Missouri, Zone "6"   Kathleen_li  Supporting Member My Favorite Photo My Weather Posted on Thursday, May 22, 2008 - 06:53 pm EST :    Yes, we do the white grape, pineapple, orange juice, 7 up or ginger ale deal here too. With the sherbet, float lemon slices, etc... Kathleen_li - NY, Zone "6"   Dishesdone  Supporting Member My Time Posted on Thursday, May 22, 2008 - 08:34 pm EST :    same here, with the sherbert! Didn't someone put flowers on ice here one time? I can't remember where I saw it but I bet that would look pretty floating in the punch bowl.

Just before serving add the liqueur and/or ginger ale and scoops of sherbet. Garnish with orange slices with cranberries floating on top or with fresh sprigs of mint . Make a decorative ice ring, if you like. The sherbet foams up, it’s pretty. I made an ice ring with baby roses and mint leaves, etc. Very pretty, feminine. Yummy.

I could drink this stuff by the gallon. When I was younger and my best friend got married we made jugs and jugs of the base of it for her wedding...good memories. It comes from a cookbook called Louisiana Lagniappe and is called Yule Punch but I call it the Best Punch Ever! Yule Punch 1 reg size pkg cherry jello 1 1/2 cup sugar 2 qts boiling water 1 qt pineapple juice 1 small can frozen lemonade concentrate 1 small can frozen orange juice concentrate 1 qt. gingerale 1/2 gallon pineapple sherbet Mix jello in boiling water along with sugar. Add the juices and mix together. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve. Transfer to punch bowl. Add gingerale and sherbet. Serves 25 Suzyqt1968 - Washington, Zone "7-8"   Debbie814  Supporting Member My Weather Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 03:12 am EST :    Monique, if you would consider lemonade, this is great. Aunt Frances Lemonade ===================== This is far and away the BEST lemonade I have ever had-it comes from Taste of Home and everyone that has had it, loves it: Aunt Frances'Lemonade 5 lemons 5 limes 5 oranges 3 quarts water 1 1/2-2c sugar Squeeze the juice from 4 of each fruits; pour into a 1 gallon container. Thinly slice remaining fruits and set aside for garnish. Add water and sugar to juice mixing well. Store in refrig and serve over ice with fruit slices. Yield:1 gallon (12-16 servings) Debbie814 - New York, Zone "5"   Monique  Supporting Member My Favorite Photo My Garden Journal My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 06:10 am EST :    Thanks everyone..I had read about the one w/ sherbet etc.. They sounded interesting! I'll save this thread because we all have punch bowls:) Ideally I would have loved to find a dispenser..I think like a few of you have.. But I was not able to come across one. I was just telling Jain last night I would have like a pale punch.. and then lemonade came into play..w/ freezing a bottle of spirits in ice w/ flowers..I remembered a beautiful party Jain made w/ a bottle in the ice..I've tried the bowls..the lanterns.. this would be different and ppretty for M. I still have my thinking cap :) It's fun to have tried and trues thanks! I'll let you know which one I pick.. I must have looked at 30 last night! Ro.. the ice ring sounds so beautiful:) I'll try the lemonade of Auntie Frances regardless of the choice..:) It's so interesting to see how many of you like the addition of a creamy ing.I wasn't sure..Now I am:) Monique Quebec Zone 5
