This punch brings back the best memories for me. When we were stationed at Fort Bragg, my very first group of Army wife friends and I were inseparable. We called ourselves “The Posse” and spent just about every waking second together. It was a season of life where the kids were very young, and our husbands spent more nights in the field than at home. We made any excuse to turn an evening together into a party. The Posse Punch was born! I will show you below how to make this a “Petite Posse Punch” for the littles in your life!
What is the difference between sherbet and sorbet?
Sherbet could be described as a little bit ice cream and a little bit sorbet. This fruit flavored frozen dessert includes milk to make it creamy, but not enough to call it ice cream. According to law, sherbet may only contain less than 2% fat. Sorbet is typically brighter in color and is a dairy free treat. You can certainly use raspberry sorbet with this punch if you would like to make it a dairy free drink!
Can you make punch ahead of time?
Because this punch is so incredibly easy to throw together, we suggest that you combine all of the ingredients just before serving. This allows the punch to stay cold and the carbonation of the sparkling water and champagne to keep.
Ingredients for our Champagne Sherbet Punch
- 1/2 Gallon Raspberry Sherbet
- 1 can frozen pink lemonade, thawed
- 2 bottles champagne or sparkling wine
- 1 liter raspberry (or strawberry) sparkling water
How to make our Champagne Sherbet Punch
First add sherbet to bottom of punchbowl or large pitcher.
Next, pour liquid mixture of the pink lemonade concentrate over the sherbet.
Add sparkling water slowly. This will cause the sherbet to foam, you can stir this to help lessen the bubbles!
Lastly, pour champagne or sparkling wine and stir. Serve in champagne glasses and garnish with fresh raspberries or strawberries.
How to make this punch for the littles
This is such a fun, special treat for the kids who like to keep things festive too! Simply replace the bottle of champagne with a 2 Liter bottle Sprite or your favorite lemon lime soda!
Top with sprinkles and a fun straw (this also helps to tell the difference between this and the grown up version!) and let them enjoy this tasty treat!
I hope this punch can help be a part of creating special memories for you just as it did for me! Whether you are sharing it with your hubby or your favorite girlfriends, the color makes it a perfect way to celebrate Valentine’s Day!
