Note
For a festive presentation, slice oranges, lemons, and limes and float them on top of the punch just before serving.
If you prefer a less sweet drink, you can reduce the amount of sherbet or substitute it with ice cubes.
This punch is best served fresh. If made ahead, keep the ginger ale separate and add it just before serving to preserve the fizz.
