Watson House Wednesday, #8: Blue Sherbet Punch
For my daughter's 8th birthday party, the theme of the party was the movie "Frozen." Everything was in shades of blue, white, and silver, and the party punch apparently needed to match, as well. Last year, the kids went crazy over the sherbet punch I made, many had never tried one before! So Jasmine definitely wanted to have one again this year. After trying several recipes found on Pinterest, I finally ended up using a modified version of this one:http://getfreerecipes.hubpages.com/h…/baby-blue-punch-recipe
In a way, I simplified it by dropping the added sugar, and exchanging the white cranberry juice with white grape-peach juice. There was more than enough sweetness with the grape juice and soda, and the white grape-peach juice was available at Costco. It's one of those things that's actually simple to make, but seems so impressive to your guests!

Blue Sherbet Punch
1 2-liter bottle of lemon-lime soda (We used Sierra Mist.)
1 2-quart bottle of white grape-peach juice
1 packet of blue raspberry lemonade KoolAid
pineapple sherbet
1 2-liter bottle of lemon-lime soda (We used Sierra Mist.)
1 2-quart bottle of white grape-peach juice
1 packet of blue raspberry lemonade KoolAid
pineapple sherbet
Stir KoolAid packet into juice and chill both juice and soda before mixing. Mix equal amounts of soda and juice into punch bowl or server. Add several scoops of sherbet to the punch and give a gentle stir.
For a party of about a dozen kids and several adults, we found that doubling this recipe gave us plenty for everyone.
