HOW TO MAKE EASTER PUNCH
In a large punch bowl, pour in the cranberry juice.

Serve the Easter punch in individual glasses, making sure to include some sherbet and candies in each serving.
Add a few handfuls of Easter candies or marshmallows to the punch bowl for extra flavor and decoration. You can also add an extra scoop of sherbet.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
Feel free to adjust the quantities of the ingredients based on your desired serving size.
It’s important to use a large punch bowl to accommodate the volume of the punch and the floating sherbet.
You can choose any flavor of sherbet that you prefer to customize the taste of the punch.
For a more festive presentation, consider using colorful Easter candies or marshmallows in different shapes and sizes.
The sherbet will gradually melt into the punch, creating a creamy and flavorful drink.
Chill the cranberry juice and lime soda in the refrigerator before preparing the punch to ensure a refreshing and cool beverage.
Use a long-handled spoon or ladle to gently stir the punch and distribute the sherbet and candies before serving.
If the sherbet starts to melt too quickly, you can add ice cubes to the punch bowl to keep it chilled.
Instead of cranberry juice, you can use a different fruit juice such as pomegranate juice, raspberry juice, or mixed berry juice.
If sherbet is not available, you can use sorbet or even vanilla ice cream as an alternative.
