Gumdrop Christmas Punch is a festive and colorful holiday drink featuring scoops of lime and cherry sherbet combined with lemon-lime and cherry sodas, topped with whipped cream and gumdrops for a fun and flavorful celebration beverage. This punch can be easily transformed into a boozy delight by adding vodka or light rum, making it perfect for both kids and adults at your holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Sherbet

  • 1 scoop Lime Sherbet
  • 1 scoop Cherry Sherbet (or substitute strawberry or raspberry sherbet)

Sodas

  • 4 oz Lemon Lime Soda (such as 7Up or Sprite)
  • 4 oz Cherry Soda (such as Cherry 7Up)

Toppings

  • Whipped Cream (for topping)
  • Gumdrops (for garnish)

Optional Alcohol

  • 1 1/2 oz Vodka or Light Rum (per cup, optional for boozy version)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sherbet Bases: Add one scoop of lime sherbet to some cups and one scoop of cherry sherbet to others, filling each cup about one-third full with the frozen sherbet to form the base of the punch.
  2. Add the Sodas: Slowly pour lemon-lime soda into the cups containing lime sherbet and cherry soda into those with cherry sherbet, filling until about half an inch from the top of the cup, creating a fizzy and flavorful mix.
  3. Top with Whipped Cream and Gumdrops: Decorate each drink with a generous swirl of whipped cream on top, and add a stir stick adorned with colorful gumdrops to bring a fun festive look and added sweetness.
  4. Make it Boozy (Optional): For an adult version, add a 1 1/2 ounce shot of vodka or light rum to each cup before pouring in the sodas for a delightful holiday cocktail twist.

Notes

  • You can substitute cherry sherbet with strawberry or raspberry sherbet based on preference.
  • The scoops of sherbet should fill the cup about one-third full to allow space for the soda and toppings.
  • Pour sodas slowly to prevent overflow and maintain the fizz.
  • This recipe can be made alcohol-free for kids or mixed drinks for adults.
  • Use colorful gumdrops to enhance the festive appearance of the punch.
