I enjoy making this Leprechaun Punch when I want a colorful, refreshing drink that feels festive without any effort. The bright green color immediately sets a fun mood, and the creamy citrus flavor combined with fizz makes it a favorite at gatherings.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because it is fast, easy, and made with just a few basic ingredients. I don’t need any cooking time or special equipment, and I can prepare it right before serving. I also appreciate that it is family-friendly and works well for parties, holidays, or casual get-togethers.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
2 liters lemon-lime soda
1 quart lime sherbet
2 cups ice
Directions
I start by chilling the soda so the punch stays cold longer. I add the ice to a large punch bowl, then slowly pour the soda over the ice. I scoop the lime sherbet into the bowl and gently stir until the mixture becomes creamy and lightly foamy. I let it sit for about one minute so the sherbet softens, then I serve it immediately.
Servings And Timing
I usually get about 8 servings from this recipe.
Preparation time is around 5 minutes, with no cooking time required.
Variations
I sometimes add a small amount of pineapple juice for extra sweetness. When I want a lighter punch, I reduce the sherbet slightly and add more soda. I also like using frozen lime slices instead of ice to keep the punch cold without diluting the flavor.
Storage/Reheating
I prefer serving this punch fresh since the fizz fades over time. If I have leftovers, I store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, knowing the texture will be less bubbly. I do not reheat this recipe.
FAQs
Can I prepare this punch in advance?

How do I keep the punch cold longer?
I chill the soda ahead of time and use ice or frozen fruit instead of regular ice cubes.
Can I make this for a large crowd?
I often double or triple the recipe, and it works well in a large punch bowl.
