Lime Sherbet Punch
This is our favorite Lime Sherbet punch recipe because it calls for 2 secret ingredients that really make it taste AMAZING! Directions to make a single lime sherbet float or a whole bowl of punch! Serve this for a baby shower, in the summer, at Christmas time or for St. Patrick’s Day!

I love St. Patrick’s Day because..
-I LOVE the color green (bonus points for olive green!)
-I am 12.5% Irish
-I love potatoes
We grew up celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with green eggs and ham and green milk. I loved it when I was young, but now I’m not sure I would be as excited to drink green milk!
When I worked as a nanny I would make the kids green pancakes and that was always fun!

I know that McDonald’s shamrock shake will be very popular around St. Patrick’s day – but I’ve never had one! I’m not really a big fan of milkshakes, so this is the perfect green drink to make instead if you’re like me and won’t be running to get a shamrock shake.
Plus you can reuse this lime sherbet float recipe in the summertime or it would be fun to serve at a baby shower!

Recipes for St. Patrick’s Day
There are so many ways to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day – with rainbow smoothies, shamrock marshmallows, or rainbow sugar cookies. And the best part is that you don’t have to be Irish to celebrate.
This is the perfect green float to share with family or friends because it requires very minimal effort since you can buy everything at the store!

The lime sherbet floats are delicious and refreshing. I’m usually not a big fan of pop because of the carbonation, but I really enjoyed this beverage because the flavors were awesome!
You can easily scale this recipe up to serve at a party or baby shower!
Ingredients
- 2 quarts lime sherbet
- juice of 2 limes
- 46 oz pineapple juice
- 2 liters ginger-ale (or you can use Sprite or 7-Up)
Sherbet punch pineapple juice substitutes
If you don’t want to use pineapple juice, you can substitute orange juice, mango juice, peach juice or lemon juice or a combination of these.
Can I add alcohol to lime sherbet punch?
Definitely! For a boozy lime sherbet punch you can add vodka, maybe try a flavored vodka like lemon-lime or mango or you can add rum, try pineapple rum or coconut rum! For an individual lime sherbet float, you can add 1 shot glass, typically 1 to 1.5 oz. For party punch add 3 cups of your chosen alcohol.
For a WOW presentation add a lime slice, sprig of mint, and a cute straw to each glass.

I’ve made something very similar, but without the pineapple juice. I love pineapple, so I’ll have to try it that way next time! It is such a yummy and refreshing drink!
It is so refreshing, I’ll have to pull this one out in the summer! Thanks for coming by Kara!
These look so good! I love lime sherbet and I love floats so I think this is going to be a winner!
Definitely a winner!
We make these all the time, refreshing and delicious! :-)
Beth, I LOVE this – I have a been an ice cream float fanatic since I was a little girl and this one sounds great! How perfect, too, for St. Patrick’s day. Thanks so much for sharing and pinning! Hope you are having a happy Monday!
Thank you Cindy!
Looks really good! I just pinned it.
The pineapple juice is a fabulous idea! I’m not a huge fan of lime, but this sounds wonderful!!
Thanks for sharing this at Project Inspire{d}!
The lime flavor from the lime juice isn’t very powerful, you can taste the lime sherbet more.
Yum! Pinning. Thanks for linking up at The Makers Beth.
Wow, it sounds so refreshing and like something I would enjoy even before or after St. Patty’s day! In fact I could definitely go for one right now. Thanks for linking up to The Makers!

Thank you Andi!
A lime float would be so refreshing right now! Thanks for the yummy idea.. and for linking up with us at our St. Patrick’s Day pin party :)
I wonder if the sherbert would be a problem in a closed serving container with a spout.
I’m guessing it wouldn’t serve and pour that well!
I do something similar using Sunny D (or Orange juice) and Lime sherbet. I prefer the Sunny D myself. The combination is just the right tart, mellow, and cold for Summer.
