NEW YEARS EVE PUNCH

This is my all time favorite punch!  It is a crowd pleaser for adults and kids alike, as you can make it either with or without alcohol, with a bottle of champagne on the side for those who want a little "punch" in their punch!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 gallons of orange sherbet
2 liters Ginger Ale (chilled)
1 bottle champagne (chilled)(optional)

Directions:

Place one gallon of orange sherbet in center of punch bowl.
Add 2 liters of Ginger Ale & 1 bottle of champagne (optional).
Stir until sherbet is dissolved.
Just before serving, add last 1/2 gallon of sherbet in scoops to float on top of punch.

If making non-alcoholic version, do not pour champagne in but leave bottle nearby & instruct guests to add it to their own cups of punch!

Feel free to add orange juice, pineapple juice, lemon-lime soda or different flavors of sherbet to this recipe to suit your own taste!
