Do you guys know that sherbet party punch that shows up a lot at baby and bridal showers? It’s usually served up in a big punch bowl and is made with things like fruit punch and 7UP® with scoops of sherbet floating on top. The idea is that it’s delicious, non-alcoholic and you get little bits of sherbet with each sip. It’s frothy, super summery and really refreshingly fun! Have you ever had it before? It is seriously some kind of delicious and I love that it’s such a simple concept, but sure enough you’ll always look over mid-party to find an empty punch bowl. Kids love it because it’s sweet and tasty. Adults love it because it somehow makes you feel like a kid again. That’s entirely what inspired these party punch sherbet floats! When I’m having friends over, whether it be for a dinner party or evening spent on the back patio, I love serving up something fun and slightly unexpected. Then you can keep everything else simple and they’ll still experience a taste of that wow factor that makes them feel a little special, and that’s my favorite thing in the entire world. Today I’m teaming up with 7UP to share how I made these easy but totally wow-worthy floats! (Be sure to scroll down for the step-by-step recipe video, too!)

As a kid, my parents were huge 7UP fans. It was a pantry mainstay in our house and because of that I have always had this nostalgia when it comes to 7UP. It’s not only refreshing, but it’s also insanely versatile so you can enjoy it straight up in a big glass of ice, mix it into cocktails, make a great party punch or even use it in fun dessert recipes! Today’s recipe is part punch, part dessert and fully delicious. If you want to spike yours and make it a dessert cocktail, a generous splash of raspberry vodka will do the trick perfectly! Otherwise you just need the simplest ingredients like pink lemonade, apple/raspberry juice and your favorite raspberry sherbet or sorbet.
