    Ingredients

    This orange sherbet punch couldn't get any easier. Just simple ingredients: Orange Soda and Orange Sherbet. The eyeballs add to the spooky look, making this orange sherbet punch recipe specific for Halloween.

    sherbet, soda, eye ball ping pong balls, and a clear punch bowl.
    • Orange Soda (any brand will be fine).
    • Orange sherbet (any brand will be perfect).
    • Decorate with ping pong eyeballs, or plastic Halloween skeleton bones!

    Full ingredient amounts and preparation instructions are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    How to Make Orange Sherbet Punch

    Get your favorite Orange soda, enough to fill your punch bowl for the party. Then, get some Orange sherbet. Chill the soda ahead of time.

    Prepare the sherbet by scooping it up in balls ahead of time and freezing it as cold as you can. You wont be using ice cubes, so the sherbet should be frozen as cold as you can get it.

    Step 1. Fill the Punch Bowl with Orange Soda

    Fill the punch bowl about ½ way full with the chilled Orange soda. Use a clear punch or large salad bowl for the best presentation. I used a full 2 liter bottle of orange soda in this tutorial.

    Full ingredient amounts and preparation instructions are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    Step 2. Add Frozen Orange Sherbet Balls

    Remove the tray or platter of frozen sherbet balls that you prepped earlier. Carefully add the sherbet balls directly into the cold orange soda in the punch bowl.

    Be careful not to drop them, transfer with tongs or slide them off a spoon close to the soda surface so they don't splash.

    Step 3. Don't Stir the Punch!

    Finish adding all the frozen orange sherbet balls to the punch bowl. They will start stacking on top of each other. Add the ping pong eyeballs to your punch bowl last, and don't stir them in.

    Just let them rest on top of the sherbet and sherbet foam. They will gradually settle into the foam.

    Your orange sherbet punch takes less than 5 minutes to put together, so it is literally the last thing to do when your guests start arriving!

    Serving Suggestions

    Add a ladle and let your guest serve up their own punch. Use mugs or paper cups, which ever is in keeping with your party. If you are looking for a Halloween punch for kids, this is it! All the kids will want an eyeball as a souvenir!

    Substitutions & Variations

    We used orange sherbet and orange soda for this Halloween sherbet punch. If you prefer a green punch then substitute Sprite or Mountain Dew soda, and use Lime Sherbet balls.

    A few other variations are:

    • Rainbow Sherbet Punch - Use Sprite or 7-Up soda. Add frozen balls of Rainbow Sherbet to the punch bowl of soda. As the sherbet melts, it will have an almost 'Unicorn' swirl of color in the bowl, perfect for a girls Unicorn themed party.

    Equipment

    We used a beautiful Acrylic salad bowl that doubles as a medium sized bunch bowl. It holds two large bottles of soda (2 liters each).

    • Acrylic Salad Bowl
    • Glass Punch Bowl
    • Punch Ladle
    • Plastic Ping Pong Eyeballs

    Storage

    Only mix enough soda and sherbet scoops to use immediately during your party, as once the sherbet melts into the soda, it doesn't keep. This is a one night party punch. You can make up more if you run out, but you will need to discard any leftovers.

    Tips for Success

    • Scoop the orange sherbet with a large ice cream scoop and lay on a cookie sheet the day before. Freeze as cold as your freezer will let you, as these sherbet balls will be the 'ice' in your punch.
    • Chill the soda as cold as you can get it without it freezing. This will prevent the sherbet balls melting quickly.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I make this punch up the day before?

    No, the sherbet will melt and the soda will lose it's carbonation. You can freeze the sherbet balls a day ahead, and chill the soda. But wait until guest start arriving before mixing the frozen sherbet balls into the cold soda.

    Can I add booze to this punch?

    You can, but add it to the soda before adding the frozen sherbet balls.

    Food Safety
