Cupid's Punch

Valentine's Day is coming up!  I love being festive, even if Valentine's Day is a 'Hallmark' holiday!  This punch is absolutely delicious!  You can either keep it non-alcoholic or add vodka for an adult-friendly cocktail.  Whether you are having an anti-Valentine's Day party or celebrating with friends this punch will be a hit!

 

In a serving bowl, mix one scoop of raspberry sherbert for every 12 ounces of Sprite.  If you want to make it a brighter pink, add a little bit of food coloring.  Garnish this punch with fresh raspberries if you would like.  And this punch is definitely vodka-friendly ;)
