A float or a punch - either make happy faces

"Should we serve punch?"
"Oh that would be nice!"
We were having an event for our girls club that included the prayer partners and girls - and lots of fun themed treats. I was trying to see what else we should serve and punch was brought up. I asked my mom for her punch recipe. "Oh my mother always did the punch and I don't have any of those recipes." Hrm... She's my go to for things like this. So off to the internet. The thing about almost all punch recipes is I'm allergic to something in all of them. I finally found this recipe and figured it was workable and ingredients would be easy to find, I mean... maybe... I subbed orange sherbet for the rainbow because I could only find orange.
Oh... Ok... here's the challenge... who has a punch bowl anymore in the year of our Lord 2026... no one I tell you... no one. Could I have gone and found one at Goodwill? Probably but then I'm stuck storing a punch bowl! I found a big bowl at church and what I thought was a big glass bowl at home. When I brought mine to church, suddenly it looked small, but it worked!
I didn't get any pictures of the actual bowls of punch because I was running around the whole night but the girls loved the punch and one even told me how much she loved the "float". Huh... yeah, she wasn't wrong, it was very much like a float! I recreated it for my family so they could have a try and they agreed it was pretty tasty!

Rainbow Sherbet Punch
Sprite
Hawaiian Punch
Rainbow Sherbet

Mix equal parts Sprite with Hawaiian Punch. Then, top it with the rainbow sherbet ice cream and serve.
Note that these ingredients are best served cold, so its a good idea to chill the punch and sprite before using.
