Lime (Rainbow) Sherbet Punch

St. Patrick's Day...green day, I should say.  So yesterday I attended a woman's fellowship tea party. We had petite finger sandwiches (cream cheese with cucumber), fresh avocados, tomatoes, lime jello salad(which was green of course), green avocado chips & salsa, split pea soup, key lime pie cups, brownies,  and a delight lime punch.
My mom puts these tea parties together usually about once a month.  While she was putting everything together, we talked about how we wanted to do the punch. We had a number of different ideas but the one that came to mind the most was the lime soda with lime sherbet punch. You know the day before we were in the grocery store looking for lime sherbet and all we could find with lime was rainbow sherbet.  We even went to 3 different stores so at the last store we saw the individual serving cups of rainbow sherbet and decided to get those. The green stood out so we thought that would be fine.
So the last thing we put together for the tea was the punch.
Today I'm going to share that recipe with you. Use your imagination and be creative. Think about all the different flavors you can use like a pineapple with pineapple sherbet and mango with mango sherbet. A flavored syrup with club soda and your favorite sherbet .  It sounds so good, it makes me want to make some now.

Lime (Rainbow) Sherbet Punch

Ingredients:
1 liter of diet lime soda(or your choice)
1/4 cup of lime sugar free flavored syrup(or your choice)
1 can of frozen lemonade thawed (or lime)
1 lime (thinly sliced)optional
3-4 individual rainbow sherbet cups (or your choice
Punch bowl

First, place lemonade in punch bowl or bowl of your choice, then add soda, flavored syrup and mix. Adjust flavor to taste if needed.  Now, place the sherbet and lime slices in punch. They will float on top. To pop out the individual sherbet cups, push the bottom of cup up with your fingers and it comes loose. As the sherbet melts, it starts to look like foam.  It's actually quite interesting to see those bubbles.
To serve you can use any kind of glass. You could place the glasses on one side of the punch bowl with the straws on the other side, for self serving. I would serve it in a fountain drink glass with a colored straw. How cute would that be especially if you color coordinate it.


Remember have fun and make it yours.

And that's the "DISH" for today!
