Perfect for baby showers or just as a refreshing summer drink, this pink strawberry sherbet punch can be whipped up in less than 10 minutes using a few simple ingredients!
With my favorite raspberry sherbet punch recipe being one of the most popular recipes on the website, I decided to step it up a notch and create a few other sherbet fruit punch flavors to add to the rotation! Made with fruit juices, lemonade, and soda, this sherbet punch is a frothy, fizzy, and sweet concoction for summer parties, baby showers, wedding showers, and more!
Ingredients for Pink Strawberry Sherbet Punch
- Strawberry Sherbet
- Lemon Lime Soda
- Pineapple Juice
- Fruit Punch (Hawaiian Punch)
- Frozen Lemonade Concentrate + Water
- Optional: Sliced Strawberries, Lemon Slices and Fresh Basil
- To Serve: Large Punch Bowl with Ladle
How to Make Pink Strawberry Sherbet Punch
Step 1: Mix Lemonade & Scoop Sherbet
To start, add the lemonade concentrate to the punch bowl and mix with 3 cups of cold water.
Use a large ice cream scoop the sherbet into balls. Add half of the scoops in the punch bowl and then freeze the other half inside a metal cake pan until ready to serve.
Step 2: Add Liquids
Pour the lemon lime soda, pineapple juice, and fruit juice into the punch bowl. Use the spoon or punch bowl ladle to mix together. You will need to use the spoon to gently break apart the sherbet to help it melt down.
Before topping with the garnishes, give it a taste test. If it's too sweet for your liking, add more water.
Step 3: Top It Off
To create the picture-perfect presentation, gently place the remaining sherbet scoops (from the freezer) lemon slices, and strawberry slices on the top of the liquid so they float. Finish off with fresh basil leaves, if desired. (For kid's parties, just leave out the fancy garnishes!)
Step 4: Serve
Serve alongside 9 oz. plastic cups, allowing everyone to serve up their own. I also like to add cute paper straws and straw toppers to add another layer of fun.
Step 2: Customize
If you're making this strawberry sherbet punch (or any of my sherbet punch recipes!) for a special occasion or holiday, take the cuteness up a notch by printing off some printable straw toppers (coming soon!) for baby showers, wedding showers, Christmas, and more!
Frequently Asked Questions:
How many people will this strawberry sherbet punch serve?
Depending on the size of the cup and how many refills you anticipate, this can serve up to 18-24 people. But I typically allow for 1 batch per 12-14 people (to allow for refills), so if you have a larger crowd, you may consider doubling the batch.
Can I Use A Different Sherbet Flavor?
Rather than altering this recipe, check out my other flavors of sherbet punch! I've got the crowd favorites of Raspberry Sherbet Punch and Orange Sherbet Punch, as well as Lime Sherbet Punch.

Instructions
- Add frozen lemonade concentrate to punch bowl and mix with the 3 cups of cold water. Pour in lemon lime soda, fruit punch juice, and pineapple juice then stir.
- Use a large ice cream scoop to scoop the sherbet into balls. If making for a crowd, I suggest freezing half of the scoops until you're ready to serve so that you have some frozen ones in there to keep things cold.
- Add half of the sherbet scoops to the punch bowl. You will need to use the spoon to break apart the sherbet scoops to help them melt down and incorporate into liquid form. Give it a taste - if it is too sweet/tart for you liking, add more water.When ready to serve: gently place the other half of sherbet scoops, sliced strawberries, lemon slices, and basil on the top of the liquid so that they float.
- Allow each guest to serve their own by placing 9oz cups or mason jars next to the punch bowl. One of the great things about sherbet punch is that if the bowl starts to run low, you can simply add more sherbet, soda, and juice to what's left and spread it out.

Where to Buy Punch Serving Cups
I picked up these 9oz. plastic cups from Party City. These were the hard plastic ones, which I realized are much easier to crack if squeezed too hard. So for kid's parties, I'd recommend using the more flexible plastic cups or serving them in paper cups.

Hi - I can't find strawberry or raspberry sherbet anywhere including ice cream shops. Bought all the ingredients already.. can I substitute a combination of strawberry sorbet and strawberry ice cream? Party is Saturday...
Melissa says
Yes, that will work!
Allison Rogers says
Do you thaw the frozen lemonade concentrate?
Melissa says
Yes! You’ll want it thawed so that it mixes well with the water.
Katrina Evans says
I’m wanting to make this but can’t find strawberry sherbet. I have found sorbet but sorbet is dairy free so wasn’t sure how it would turn out. In the picture of ingredients you have posted it shows strawberry ice cream. Just wondering what I should use
Melissa says
Hi! Mine in the photo is sherbet but Hyvee was one of the only places I could find it. Do you have raspberry sherbet at your store? You could use that or I also have a raspberry sherbet recipe similar to this that is super good!
L Hayes says
