- 1 cup pineapple juice, chilled
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (optional)

- 1 quart lime sherbet
Garnishes

Instructions
- Combine Liquids: In a large punch bowl, pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda and pineapple juice, creating the flavorful base for the punch.
- Add Sherbet: Add scoops of lime sherbet directly into the punch bowl, allowing the sherbet to float and gradually melt into the soda mixture, imparting a creamy and tangy flavor.
- Mix Gently: Stir the mixture gently to combine the sherbet with the soda and pineapple juice without losing the carbonation.
- Adjust Flavor: Add the fresh lime juice if you desire a tangier, more pronounced lime taste to the punch, enhancing its citrus notes.

Notes
- You can substitute pineapple juice with orange juice for a different fruity twist.
- For an adult version, add a splash of vodka or rum to the punch.
- Always add the sherbet just before serving to maintain the punch’s fizz and creamy texture.
