EASY PUNCH RECIPE

From Lucy Reid

The recipe is actually easier than you can imagine.

 It is just sherbet and lemon-lime soda.
 I usually use 1 quart sherbet to a 2 liter bottle of soda.

That is what we used at Rachel's wedding in raspberry but it can be
lime, orange or whatever flavor you choose in sherbet. 


This amount serves about 15 people, so multiply as needed.
