For Adults (Alcoholic): Mermaid Lemonade

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 2 cups ice
• ¼ cup blue curaçao
• 1 cup white rum
• 2 cups lemonade
• 4 lemon slices
• 8 maraschino cherries

Directions:

1. Put ¼ cup ice in each glass, then add a splash of blue curaçao, ¼ cup rum, and another ¼ cup ice. (The ice helps with the ombré.) Pour over ½ cup lemonade.
2. Skewer a lemon slice and 2 maraschino cherries on a paper umbrella or toothpick and garnish drinks before serving.

For All Ages (Non-Alcoholic): Raspberry Sherbet Punch

Serves: 18-20

Ingredients:

• 2 Liter Bottle Sierra Mist Sprite or 7-up, chilled
• 2 Liter Bottle Club Soda chilled
• 1 Fruit punch can 12oz, or pink lemonade, thawed in the fridge
• 1 pineapple juice can 12oz, thawed in the fridge
• 6-8 scoops Raspberry Sherbet Ice cream or any flavor you have available
• Fresh or frozen raspberries for garnish
• Pineapple slices for garnish

Directions:

1. Pre-scoop ice cream and place on a baking dish lined with plastic wrap. Freeze and add ice cream just before serving so it remains frozen in the punch.
2. In a punch bowl, combine 2 juice cans. Pour in Sierra Mist and Club Soda and gently stir until combined.
3. Add pineapple slices and raspberries if using and top with scooped sherbet just before serving. The ice cream will keep it chilled.
