What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
- 1 liter lemon-lime soda (chilled)
- 2 cups pineapple juice (chilled)

- ½ cup coconut milk
- ½ cup maraschino cherry juice
- Fresh lime slices (for garnish)
- Maraschino cherries (for garnish)

Pro Tips
✔ Chill your ingredients – A colder punch means less melted sherbet and a frostier drink! Pop everything in the fridge before making it.
✔ Use clear cups – That bright green color is too pretty to hide! Serve in clear glasses so it shines.
✔ Make it kid-friendly – Get the kids involved! Let them scoop the sherbet or pour in the soda (with supervision, of course!).
✔ Want more fizz? Add the soda last so it keeps its bubbles longer.
✔ Make it a party drink – Add a splash of white rum for an adult version!

Make-Ahead Tips
🥶 Prep ahead! Slice the limes and chill all the ingredients a few hours before serving. The punch itself is best made fresh!
How to Make Emerald Isle Punch
Step 1: Add Pineapple Juice & Coconut Milk
Pour 2 cups of chilled pineapple juice and ½ cup of coconut milk into a large glass punch bowl. Stir to combine.
Step 2: Add Lime Sherbet
Scoop 2 cups of lime sherbet into the punch bowl. Let it float on top—this adds a frothy, creamy texture.
Step 3: Pour in Lemon-Lime Soda
Slowly pour 1 liter of chilled lemon-lime soda over the sherbet. Watch as it fizzes and foams up!
Step 4: Add Maraschino Cherry Juice
Pour in ½ cup of maraschino cherry juice for a hint of sweetness and a touch of color.
Step 5: Garnish & Serve
Add fresh lime slices and maraschino cherries on top. Serve in clear glasses with whipped cream and a cherry on top!
Leftovers & Storage
🥶 This punch is best served fresh! If you have leftovers, store them in the fridge for a few hours, but the fizz will fade. For the best experience, make a fresh batch when needed!
