Creamy Holiday Gumdrop Punch (Print version)

A fizzy, creamy holiday punch made with rainbow sherbet, vanilla ice cream, cherry soda, whipped cream, and gumdrops.

# Ingredients:

For the punch

01 - 2 1/2 cups (about 450 g) rainbow sherbet
02 - 2 1/2 cups (about 360 g) vanilla ice cream
03 - 4 liters cherry lemon-lime soda, very chilled
04 - 1-2 drops red food coloring, optional

For serving

05 - Whipped cream, for topping
06 - 1 cup gumdrops, for garnish
07 - Extra small scoops of rainbow sherbet, optional

# Instructions:

01 - Refrigerate the soda until very cold. This helps the punch stay bubbly and slows down melting.
02 - Place the rainbow sherbet and vanilla ice cream in a large punch bowl. Reserve a few small scoops for garnish if desired.
03 - Slowly pour the chilled cherry lemon-lime soda down the side of the bowl. Pause if the foam rises too high.
04 - Add 1-2 drops of red food coloring if you want a stronger pink color. Stir gently once or twice, just enough to swirl.
05 - Ladle the punch into cups right away. Top each serving with whipped cream, gumdrops, and a small scoop of sherbet if using.

# Good to know:

01 - Best served immediately after mixing.
02 - Use a bowl that holds at least 6 quarts to leave room for foam.
03 - Garnish individual glasses for the neatest presentation.
