Canada Dry Ginger Ale and 7UP Punch Recipes
I don’t drink alcohol, but that doesn’t mean I want to celebrate the holidays without a fun drink.
So I decided to use Canada Dry Ginger Ale® and 7UP® to create 2 super easy, very tasty, in fact, totally delicious, fun drinks.
With a bonus that they are both kid friendly and adult approved. Oh, and did I mention budget friendly? Basically they are perfect for a holiday party!
Two easy to make punches that will leave impress your friends and family! Making these brings out a refreshing new taste!
If you love specialty drinks like we do in our family you will love this Orange Cream Soda, Frozen (Non-alcoholic) Mango Margaritas, Mango Black Tea Lemonade or Virgin Michelada.
When I was growing up my mom used to make us 7UP® floats with sherbet in them! I loved them, and have carried on the tradition on special occasions with my kids.
We all love them, and so I thought the same idea could be applied to a holiday party punch bowl for a light, refreshing, and easy to make beverage.
Instead of making individual floats, I could make a punch!
So I picked up 7UP®, raspberry sherbet, and some fresh limes and lemons, and whipped up this little beauty.
Trust me, every kid at your party will love this Canada Dry Ginger Ale® and 7UP® Punch Recipes that is slushy, refreshing, drink!
Make these drinks with a complete meal
These are simple and irresistible drinks that we love to have on special occasions. Even if that is a good grade in school or a goal at the latest soccer game.
We are a celebrating type of family and love how quick and easy these two drinks come together. And even better that they taste delicious!
Chicken is a favorite in our house especially preferred for by my kiddos. I would love to have these punches with this Creamy Lemon Chicken and Asparagus. It is light and flavorful and pairs well with these punches.
My kids choice of meal with these punches are Chicken Nugget Sheet Pan Dinner or Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meat Sauce. Both totally kid friendly and classic meals!
What do you need to make 7UP Punch?
- 7UP® or Diet 7UP®
- Raspberry Sherbet: other fruity sherbets work great too!
- Lime juice: best if it is fresh squeezed lime instead of lime juice
- Lemon juice: best if it is fresh squeezed lemon instead of lemon juice
How to make 7UP Punch
It is ridiculously easy to make. I like to split the recipe when making it in a food processor or blender.
- Blend: Put half the tub of sherbet in with ¼ the bottle of 7UP®, and a tablespoon each of lemon and lime juice.
- Mix: Next dump in your punch bowl, and do the same with the other half. Then pour the remaining half a bottle of 7UP® over the top, give it a good stir.
- Serve: Right away or place in the freezer/refrigerator until ready.
What do you need to make Ginger Lemonade?
Wouldn’t this Ginger Lemonade make the perfect kid-friendly party drink or New Year’s Eve beverage?
Not only is it totally fun and delicious, but also less expensive then buying bottles of sparkling cider for the kids!
- Canada Dry Ginger Ale
- Lemonade of choice
How to make Ginger Lemonade:
- Punch Bowl: mix together and garnish with lemon! Serve over ice
- Pitcher: mix the two together, put in a pitcher , and garnish with lemon slices and serve chilled or over ice!

Notes

I am finding it extremely difficult to find raspberry sherbet . Would sorbet be just as good
Rachael says
Yes, as far as I know, it is the same thing.
Mary says
Any thoughts on how much ahead of time you can make this? I assume it’s better the fresher it is. I’m looking for something I can make for my son’s holiday party at school. Ideally, I would make it that morning and take it into school. The teacher can keep it in a refrigerator but it probably wouldn’t be used until later in the day. Do you think it will lose it’s consistency from the sherbet by then?
Rachael says
If they can keep it in the freezer that would be best. I wouldn’t recommend making it more than an hour early.

What an awesome drink….perfect for summer!
GlendaDeGuzman says
I will try your recipes here in Manila, Philippines.
Barbara says
I use grape juice fruit punch and 7 up. Then add the raspberry sorbet on top with floating limes or lemons. Very pretty and not real sweet
cherie mccall says
These drinks look so yummy. It gets really hot here in the south where I live. Will have to get them a try.
Rachael says
Hope you love it, it is one of our favorites for parties!
counterstrike says
Sustain the outstanding work !! Lovin’ it!
Sam says
I don’t understand… That’s six litres of liquid.
Or is it 7-Up OR ginger ale OR lemonade??
Stacey says
I use 1 liter of 7-up or ginger ale to one half gallon of sherbet. I just spoon in the sherbet and pour the 7-up or ginger ale over the sherbet. She is using the lemons and limes as a garnish, I think.
Lulu says
This sounds amazing. I don’t have kids but would love to make this for company. If I were to add an alcohol what would be recommended for this recipe?
Rachael says
I do not drink so I can’t say. Sorry!
Marianne says
Am I the only one confused by this post? Is the ingredient list intended for making 2 different beverages? What am I missing here? I don’t see the gingerly and the lemonade included in the instructions for making the punch…
Rachael says
There are 2 different recipes in the post! I just switched recipe cards, and it converted funny in this post, sorry, I appreciate you pointing it out, I will have to go in and convert it back to my old version.
