BABY BLUE PUNCH
I created this punch recipe when I went looking for a punch recipe for my Baby Shower. I really wanted blue punch because I was having a boy this time. The ice cream melts somewhat and turns the punch a beautiful baby blue color leaving frothy blue and white clouds floating on top. Everyone thought it tasted great and asked for the recipe. Its also very adaptable to your taste. The sky's the limit. Try any flavor or color of unsweetened drink mix in place of the blue.

BABY SHOWER PINK CLOUD PUNCH
This makes a wonderful punch for a baby girl's baby shower or a little girl's party! ---since this has such a wonderful colour it is best served in a large fancy punch bowl and should be served as soon as possible as the scoops of sherbet tend to get soft but don't worry if they melt in the punch it really makes the punch taste even better! --- this takes little time to prepare and is *so* good! If you should decide to add in any ice just make ice cubes out of any extra lemon-lime soda I have little fancy ice cube container shapes that I use just for punch and fancy drinks, if you prepare the ice cubes days in advance and just store them in a ziploc plastic bag it really saves time --- if you are using frozen concentrate lemonade for this recipe you might want to reduce the water amount slightly and increase the sugar amount but this is only optional, you will love this! --- also see my recipe#292039

Steps:
- In a large glass punch bowl, mix the lemonade and lemon-lime soda.
- Add in half of the sherbet, and stir well to make frothy.
- Add in small scoops of the remaining well-frozen little sherbet balls.
- And the lemon and/or orange slices (if using).
- Serve immediately.
- NOTE: just a hint, prepare and freeze your sherbet balls very well in the freezer a head of time so they will remain hard in the punch, and not melt as fast, I do this days ahead, and place them in a large plastic freezer container until ready to drop into the punch.
- Also make certain that your lemonade and soda are VERY cold, so you do not have to add any ice to the punch when serving, although of coarse ice may be aded if desired.
- DELICIOUS!

Tips for Making the Perfect Punch
- **Use fresh ingredients.** This will make a big difference in the flavor of your punch. Fresh fruits, juices, and herbs will give your punch a bright, vibrant flavor. - **Balance the flavors.** Punch should be a harmonious blend of sweet, sour, and tart flavors. If your punch is too sweet, it will be cloying and unpleasant. If it is too sour, it will be harsh and astringent. Aim for a balance of flavors that is pleasing to the palate. - **Don't be afraid to experiment.** There are endless possibilities when it comes to making punch. Try different combinations of fruits, juices, and herbs to create a unique and flavorful punch that your guests will love. - **Make a big batch.** Punch is a great drink to serve at parties and gatherings. Make a big batch so that you have plenty to serve your guests. - **Garnish your punch.** A garnish can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your punch. Try garnishing your punch with fresh fruits, herbs, or flowers. ###Conclusion
Punch is a refreshing, flavorful drink that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can make a punch that your guests will love. So next time you're hosting a party or gathering, consider making a punch. Your guests will be glad you did.
