What is Creamy Orange Sherbert Punch?

Our creamy orange sherbert punch is like a sunshine-filled hug in a glass! We take scoops of tangy, fruity orange sherbert and smooth vanilla ice cream and swirl them together with refreshing orange juice, a splash of sparkling water, and a gorgeous medley of frozen fruit. 

This absolutely dreamy, creamy concoction is equal parts sweet, tangy, and incredibly refreshing. It’s the ultimate drink to serve at any celebration, from birthday parties to summer picnics, adding a burst of color and flavor that everyone will love.

Ingredients You Need

  • Vanilla Ice Cream – Creamy ice cream gives the punch a sweet vanilla vibe that perfectly balances the tangy flavors in the punch.
  • Sherbert – Sherbert adds sweetness and silky smoothness.
  • Orange Juice – Bursting with zesty brightness, orange juice gives the punch citrusy fruit flavor.
  • Sparkling Water – This is an easy way to add give the punch its signature fizziness.
  • Frozen Fruit (Strawberries, Peaches, Pineapples) – Packs in natural sweetness, pops of color, and a bit of fruity fun. Plus, since it’s frozen, it helps to keep the punch cool without diluting it.

How to Make Creamy Orange Sherbert Punch

  1. Combine. Place the ice cream and the sherbet in a large punch bowl with the fruit before topping with the orange juice and sparkling water and stirring. 
  2. Garnish and Serve. If desired, garnish with fresh herbs like mint or basil and serve with a ladle.

Variations

  • Tropical Flavors – Swap out the orange juice for pineapple juice and use coconut ice cream for a beachy vibe.
  • Berries – Use mixed berry sherbert and cranberry juice, and add frozen blueberries and raspberries.
  • Citrus – Combine orange, lemon, and lime sherbert with a splash of lemonade.
  • Peaches – Use peach sherbert and peach nectar, and throw in some frozen peach slices.
  • Lemon-Lime – Swap in a lemon-lime sherbert, mix in lemon-lime soda, and add slices of lemon and lime for garnish.
  • Apple and Caramel – Use apple cider, caramel ice cream, and a dash of cinnamon for a cozy version for fall.

Can I Store Leftovers? 

This punch is best consumed right away rather than being stored. But if you happen to have some left, you can keep it in the refrigerator. 

To refrigerate, transfer any leftover punch to an airtight container or wrap the punch bowl tightly with plastic wrap before placing it in the refrigerator for up to one day (the carbonation will not last much longer than that). Stir it all together before serving. 

Common Questions about Creamy Orange Sherbert Punch

Is this punch kid-friendly?

Absolutely! It’s sweet, creamy, and fizzy, making it perfect for birthday parties, baby showers, or any festive occasion.

How do I serve this punch?

Serve it in a large punch bowl or in individual glasses over ice. Top with berries, maraschino cherries, or orange slices for a fun, festive presentation.

How creamy is this punch?

It’s pleasantly creamy but still light and fizzy thanks to the sparkling water. The sherbet softens the sharp citrus and makes it smooth and dreamy without being heavy.

Is this punch best chilled or with ice?

Chilled sparkling water and juice are key, but adding a few ice cubes in the bowl or glasses keeps it extra refreshing, especially on a hot day. To avoid diluting the drink, try using orange juice ice cubes!
