punch

This is the punch that my Grandma always made at family gatherings:
(It can be made in small or large quantities.)

1 part Ginger Ale (Canada Dry)
1 part 7-Up or Sprite
1 3/4 parts cranberry juice (Ocean Spray Cran-...)
raspberry sherbet

Combine first 3 ingredients. Add sherbet. Stir gently.
(To serve in glasses, instead of a punch bowl, place a scoop of sherbet in each glass before adding the punch.)
