My mom used to make this punch for all of the parties at our house on Sullivan. It was a super sweet drink that was also super refreshing because of the pineapple. I turned her recipe into a Fruity Pineapple Sherbet Punch for a fun Valentine’s Day buffet. I love how the chunks of pineapple add to the refreshing quality of this party punch and the white pineapple sherbet floats atop the fruit punch sea like little waves of goodness.

I remember this party punch so fondly and am sad that I can’t drink it like I used to; but just a sip now and then takes me back to my old family home and all those fun parties we used to throw there. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does! Let’s make it!
Fruity Pineapple Sherbet Punch
Before you make this punch, store all the ingredients in the refrigerator to get them all nice and cold (except, of course, the sherbet). I like making the punch ahead of time in a large pitcher so that when party time nears, I can just pour the premade punch into the punch bowl and add the sherbet.
A tip for making this ahead of time: pour half the ingredients into a large pitcher and stir. Add the remaining pineapple juice and 7-up into the plastic fruit punch bottle and swirl to mix. Now you have two containers of mixed punch to fill and refill your punch bowl.
A great thing about this punch is that ANY flavor of sherbet tastes great. You can find a flavor and color that matches your party colors!
Having all your ingredients cold when you mix allows the sherbet to melt more slowly and makes your cups pretty when you serve.
