No Alcohol, But ...Pineapple Sherbet Punch Recipe Is A Winner
For Every Occasion ...Restaurant Drink Recipe
The story of my Pineapple Sherbet Punch Recipe
Once upon a time, not too long ago, a married couple and long time
guests at my restaurant asked me to cater their 25th wedding
anniversary dinner.
One of their requests was to have a variety of appetizers and several
"self serve" punch bowls set up on my patio before dinner.
My friends made it clear they needed a "fabulous tasting punch" for
the preliminaries. That was a bit of pressure, to be sure.
I asked them what two or three of their favorite fruit flavors were.
They both agreed "pineapple" was their favorite. Ah, yes ...25 years
of bliss.
This is the restaurant recipe I came up with. They, and the anniversary party, were very pleased.
Pineapple Sherbet Punch Recipe
A Real Restaurant Drink Recipe
Preparation time: 10 minutes. Serves 25.
Measurement Conversion Table
Ingredients:
1/2 gallon (2 quarts) pineapple sherbet
2 two liter bottles of 7-UP
2 ten or twelve ounce cans of pineapple juice
2 ten or twelve ounce container of club soda
Instructions:
Place the sherbet in a nice punch bowl
Pour equal amounts of club soda and pineapple juice over the sherbet (yea, it will foam)
Refrigerate until serving time
Add 7-Up just before serving and stir
Now someone asked me how to keep the punch cold without ice cubes (which would dilute the
restaurant drink recipe). Here is a good tip.
After making the first punch bowl (minus the 7-UP, scoop out some of the mixture into several
containers (even plastic bags) and freeze ahead of serving time. As the punch bowl needs to be
refilled, add the frozen version and some more 7-UP. It will melt, adding to the volume, but will
not dilute the punch. Cool! ...so to speak! ☺
