Frosty Citrus Punch :
Ingredients -
1 can (120z) frozen limeade or lemonade concentrate thawed
3 cups cold water
2 cans lemon lime soda chilled
1/2 pint ( 1 cup) lime or lemon sherbet, softened
In a large pitcher, mix limeade & water.
Just before serving, stir in soda, pour into a punch bowl,
float scoops of sherbet on top. I serve the punch in mason jars.
They look so cute and old fashioned.
It's so refreshing too !!
