Funshine Fizz

Pro tips

• Add the club soda last and stir gently to preserve carbonation.
• Chill all liquid ingredients before combining to slow sherbet melt and keep the punch cold longer.
• Scoop sherbet into the punch bowl just before serving rather than pre-mixing to maintain texture and fizz.
• Use a 2:1 juice-to-soda ratio as a baseline, adjusting carbonation level to your preference.

Substitutions

• Orange sherbet → vanilla ice cream (creamier texture, milder flavor)
• Club soda → ginger ale (adds spice and sweetness)
• Pineapple juice → mango juice (tropical variation)

Storage & make-ahead

Store mixed juice base in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; add sherbet and club soda immediately before serving.

Can I make Funshine Fizz ahead of time?

Can I substitute the orange sherbet?

Yes. Use vanilla ice cream, lime sherbet, or raspberry sherbet for different flavor variations.

How much does this recipe serve?

This recipe makes approximately 5-6 servings, depending on glass size.

Should I chill the ingredients before mixing?

Yes. Chill the juices and use cold club soda for the best taste and to prevent the sherbet from melting immediately.

Can I use fresh-squeezed orange juice instead of bottled?

Yes, fresh-squeezed juice works well and will enhance the flavor.
