Leprechaun Punch is almost a rite of passage in Utah. I can’t remember a single dance or “fancy activity” that didn’t have a bowl. In fact, it is such a nostalgic things for so many Utahns, that I can’t even tell you how many wedding receptions I have seen it at. It is simple, delicious and kind of like a root beer float.
You will need:
- Lime Sherbet
- Sprite
Growing up the flavor of sherbet changed depending on the event, but the drink is always a Lemon Lime Soda. Fill the bowl full of sherbet, usually 6-10 scoops is a good amount.
Pour the Sprite or other Lemon Lime Soda over the sherbet and let it sit for a couple of minutes. This mixes the flavors.
Serve up glasses full of Sprite with a little bit of sherbet in the top.
It is such a simple drink, but a fun one. What kid doesn’t love a soda and ice cream sugar rush?
This punch is a really cute idea for St. Patrick's Day. I love how easy it is to make and how inexpensive the ingredients are. I think the kids would get a kick out of drinking this with the whole leprechaun story behind it.
We are now brainstorming food ideas for the St. Patrick's Day party we are hosting this week. There are so many Irish or green things we like! If time wasn't an issue, I would make them all!
Sprite is actually my favorite soda. I have used it many times to create fun mocktails. I love this Leprechaun Punch! It's fabulous and perfect to celebrate St. Paddy's day with! Definitely will serve this up…my whole family will love it!
oh my yum! I love any kind of drink like this & I love the fact that it's green! This would be really fun at a spring party
What a great sweet idea for a drink! My kids would go crazy over it I'm sure. Although they don't like Root Beer floats or Ice Cream Sodas…..For me then!
I always loved punches with ice cream in them. Even seeing them. I think of my mom. Thanks for sharing.
I love the color! This punch looks so green and refreshing, I bet it is also very delicious
