7-Up Punch

Why not try this recipe at your next get together, or just for something refreshing?

3/4 container of lime, orange or raspberry sherbet
1 can frozen orange juice
1 large can fruit punch
2 liter 7-up or Sprite, may not need all, adjust to taste

Pour into punch bowl orange juice, fruit punch and 7Up (taste to make sure have enough 7Up). Spoon in desired amount of sherbet.

Its fun to throw in some frozen strawberries or make ice cubes from punch or the juice. This is especially nice if the day or evening is warm, and you need the punch to stay cold for a period of time. It helps the sherbet to not melt too fast either
