Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large punch bowl, scoop 1 quart orange sherbet and allow it to soften slightly at room temperature for 10 minutes to help it blend.
  2. Step 2: Pour 3 cups orange juice and 2 cups pineapple juice over the softened sherbet, gently stirring to combine the flavors without melting the sherbet completely.
  3. Step 3: Slowly add 2 liters lemon-lime soda, stirring gently to preserve the bubbles and create a light fizz.
  4. Step 4: Add 1/2 cup fresh orange slices and 1/4 cup drained maraschino cherries to the punch for color and fruity accents.
  5. Step 5: Serve immediately with a ladle into glasses, making sure each serving has a scoop of sherbet and some fruit pieces.
