DREAMSICLE PUNCH

This punch tastes like summer vacation. I love to serve this when we’re poolside, or wish we were.

Makes about 14 cups

ONE 2-LITER BOTTLE ORANGE SODA

ONE 14-OUNCE CAN SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK

1 QUART (32 OUNCES) PINEAPPLE JUICE

½ GALLON ORANGE SHERBET

Pour the orange soda, sweetened condensed milk, and pineapple juice into a large punch bowl or pitcher. Stir. Scoop the sherbet into the punch and serve.

SOUTHERN SIMPLE: This is also wonderful with lemon-lime soda and lime sherbet.

SOUTHERN MOTHER: I like to serve this from an insulated drink dispenser. Fill the dispenser with ice for 30 minutes, remove the ice, and mix the punch in the chilled dispenser.
