* 2 liter ginger ale
* 1 can pineapple juice, 46 oz.
Scoop the sherbet into your punch bowl and pour ginger ale and pineapple juice over it. Garnish with fresh fruit slices such as citrus fruits, strawberry slices, and maraschino cherries.

Tips and Tricks for Perfect Punch
If you stock your punch bowl with regular ice cubes it will dilute your punch quickly. A bundt pan works well to make large ice rings that won't melt as quickly.You can create ice molds that fit your party theme by filling shaped cookie pans and cake pans with water and freeze to create festive ice shapes that float to the surface. A latex-free glove is popular for floating hands in your punch during Halloween.
Use seasonal sliced or whole fruit, maraschino cherries, fresh edible flowers, and a mint sprig to either place inside your water for an ice mold before freezing, and/or use in the punch itself for extra decoration and added flavors.
