Presbyterian Punch is the best party punch go-to recipe. Sherbet, lemon-lime soda, orange juice, pineapple juice and frozen limeade!
SHERBET PARTY PUNCH
Don’t ask me how these recipes get their names. But if you ask any southern Grandma – she’ll know exactly what you are talking about when you mention ‘Presbyterian Punch’. I assume it got its name from being served at any and all church functions. As a Presbyterian myself, I’m happy to lay claim to the name but this is a standard sherbet punch that has been served for decades by more than just us Presbies.
PRESBYTERIAN PUNCH
This is hands-down my favorite punch ever. Probably because it is so strongly attached to my youth. Of course, you can’t go wrong with Holiday Party Punch, Ocean Water Punch and my Sparkling Strawberry Punch! If I see those scoops of sherbet floating in a huge punch bowl, I am making a bee line straight to it. I love it. And I can’t get enough. One little punch glass is never enough for me.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)
- 7-UP
- pineapple juice
- frozen limeade
- frozen orange juice
- rainbow sherbet
HOW TO MAKE PRESBYTERIAN PUNCH:
In a punch bowl, mix together 7-UP, pineapple juice, limeade and orange juice together gently.
Using an ice cream scooper, scoop out several servings of rainbow sherbet and float on top of punch before serving.
Allow the sherbet to melt slightly, then serve.

Gorgeous looking punch! It sounds so delicious too. Can’t wait to try these, everyone will love them.Reply
Our family has made a version of this for years also. Just about every occasion! I have had trouble finding raspberry sherbert since Christmas last year and it seems that is the color I am always needing! Love this punch.Reply
Sherbet punches are always so pretty and tasty! We’ve been having punches at parties again lately and everyone has been loving them! Yours looks delicious, not surprisingly!

The limeade and orange juice in the recipe are undiluted concentrates, aren’t they? Sounds yummy!

Hi Debbie! You are correct! 🙂Reply
We didn’t call it Presbyterian punch but this punch was served at every Brownie and Girl Scout event in my youth. If you can’t find Rainbow sherbet just buy a couple of different flavors.

Lol…this should be called childbirth inducing punch! I was at a friend’s Tupperware party & had 5 days before my due date. Another girl was there thst was 2 weeks past her due date. It was a first baby for each of us. This punch was served. We guzzled this stuff that evening, and the next afternoon we both gave birth!

Carol – that is HILARIOUS! I’ll be sure to make it next time I have a friend who is overdue! LOL!Reply
I’ve never seen this punch before…but I’m up in the north so that’s maybe why! This looks SO good. I need to make this for the next family get together we have!

Is anyone else having trouble finding rainbow sherbet beside me. I would love to try this punch but I am having trouble finding rainbow sherbet.

Safeway or Vons has it in SoCalReply
Hey Sandra! If you can’t find rainbow, just pick up a couple of different flavors – like lime and orange or cherry. 🙂

I use one we call reception punch! White grape juice and ginger ale equal parts! The best ever because not to sweet to drink with wedding cake! But have used lime sherbert and ginger ale also!

Yes, we have a punch we all call Janelle’s punch. You just mix equal portions of chilled white grape juice and Sprite or 7 Up. It is so good and quench’s your thirst. We serve it at Eastern Star meetings, and all kinds of showers!
