Party Time with Pina Colada Punch

When I plan for either of my daughters' birthday parties, I tend to go a bit overboard when planning the menu. I like to decide on a theme and create the party completely around it. Claudia decided that for her 4th birthday party, she'd like another princess party. Since we had princess theme once before, I wanted to make sure this one was different and special as well. I made a menu of all things "fancy." One of our fancy drinks was Pina Colada Punch. I filled a large punch bowl and had to refill it 3 times. Needless to say, it was a hit!

Pina Colada Punch

5 C. Pineapple Juice
1 liter 7-Up
1 15oz. can Real Cream of Coconut
2 Limes
Pineapple Sherbert, Optional


Chill all ingredients. Mix 2 C. of the Pineapple Juice with Cream of Coconut in a blender. Add this mixture to the remaining Pineapple Juice, 7-Up, and juice of 1 lime. Place scoops of pineapple sherbet on top. Slice remaining lime and garnish with lime slices. Serve over ice cubes or crushed ice. Enjoy!
