My husband and I love to make sherbet floats on date nights. His favorite sherbet flavor is rainbow, mine is usually raspberry. And usually we’re pretty boring and just plop our sherbet into plain ol’ lemon-lime soda.

But every once in a while we’ll get a little crazy and try a different flavored soda. I’m obsessed with Cherry 7-up, and I just knew it was going to be DELICIOUS paired with lime sherbet– just like a Shirley Temple! …but backwards 🙂

I added a few maraschino cherries and their syrup for a little extra cherry flavor (and pop of fun color). This punch turned out absolutely delicious, perfectly sweet, and totally refreshing!
