    Serve these fancy pink non-alcoholic martini at any party or occassion. They are perfect for baby or wedding showers, kid and teen birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's day, or any holiday you want to serve a zero-proof drink. Pair it with my Apple Cider Mocktail for two great party drinks.

    Ingredients for Sherbet Mocktail

    The best part of this pink punch mocktail is a scoop of rainbow sherbet. It's the cool start that gives this drink a frothy topping that's tasty. Every kid and adult loves it.

    3 ingredients for a mocktini using punch, sherbet, and cherry 7-up.

    Here are the ingredients needed to make a batch of Pink Mocktails.

    • Rainbow Sherbet - the creamy texture is so yummy.
    • Punch - choose a pink-colored variety such as Strawberry Banana Hawaiian Punch.
    • Cherry 7-Up - the bright pink fruity lemon-lime soda add some bubbly.

    See the recipe card for quantities & full instructions.

    How to Make a Fun Pink Mocktail

    The fun part of this sherbet punch mocktail is how it is served. Unlike other recipes made in a big punch bowl, these mocktails are served right in the martini glass. The pretty presentation makes the best pink mocktini.

    You can use your fancy glass martini glasses. Or buy some plastic disposable martini glasses like I did. They are best when serving a crowd or children - plus they are cheap & easy to assemble.

    Here are the easy steps for pouring a sherbet martini.

    1. Scoop the Sherbet
    2. Pour some Punch
    3. Top with Cherry 7-Up
    Pink Mocktail Ingredients and disposable plastic martini glasses.

    Gather you glasses and an ice cream scoop. Make sure the 7-up and punch is chilled and cold.

    Fill up the glass half way with pink fruit punch.

    Adding cherry 7-up to strawberry punch and rainbow sherbet.

    Top it all off with the Cherry 7-Up.

    Enjoy immediately. The sherbet will slowly melt & create a creamy foam layer that is irresistible.

    It's a dessert & mocktail all in one. What's not to love! Serve with some Cherry White Chocolate Cookies for a Valentine's Day double feature.

    FAQ

    Can I use orange sherbet or sorbet instead?

    Though any sherbet flavor is also yummy, it will change the color of the drink. If you want a true pink color, shoot for rainbow sherbet which some pink along with orange & lime.

    Differences and similarities between sherbet and sorbet make them sometimes a good replacement. Sorbet will be less creamy as it has no milk. It is a great substitute for a dairy-free mocktail.

    Can sparkling water be added?

    If you wish to cut down on some of the sugar, calories, or sweetness, substitute plain sparkling water for the Cherry 7-UP. It will be a lighter pink color.

      These mocktails sound like so much fun Angela. Sadly, we don't get cherry flavoured drinks in Australia, but I'll find a substitute.
      Thank you for sharing your Pink Mocktail recipe at Create, Bake, Grow & Gather this week. I'm delighted to be featuring it at tonight's party and pinning too.
