One of the first things I bought before moving into our new home was a punch bowl. While it likely sounds random, I couldn’t resist the saccharine idea of friends and family gathering at our place and creating memories over good food and drink (like this festive orange sherbet punch!) for years to come.

Sure enough, over the past year and a half in our new home, we’ve broken out the punch bowl on a number of occasions.
A boozy champagne punch for Easter morning? We’ve got it covered.
A kid friendly orange sherbet punch recipe for the holidays? No brainer.
Honestly, I’m just as shocked as you probably are at how much of a staple our punch bowl has become at gatherings.

Why do people enjoy punch so much anyways?
To tell you the truth, I think it’s similar to the reason that I always order a side salad at my favorite Italian restaurant.
It’s because it’s something I wouldn’t make at home.
There’s something about a good punch (especially one with that’s decked out like this one) that really sets the scene and makes guests feel like they’re…well, guests.
While it’s true that you should feel at home at any good host’s house, it is nice to indulge in the idea of delicacy and rarity.
After all, there’s no way you’d whip up this orange sherbet punch recipe for just yourself on lazy Sunday.
No, it warrants a special occasion.
