Tried It Pinterest: Strawberry Champagne Punch

Here is the first installment of my Tried It series.  This one was inspired by my sister's recent Bridal Shower.  

She, not so subtly, indicated on Pinterest that this punch was something she wanted at the shower.  And being the bestest oldest sister in the world, I complied.

The Strawberry Champagne Punch looked delicious and not too difficult to make.



1 liter sparkling champagne
1¼ cups fruit punch
1¼ cups ginger ale
1¼ cups orange juice
1 pint fresh strawberries
1 pint raspberry sherbet
1 pint vanilla ice cream

Instructions
Chill juices and sodas before using.
Mix juices, soda and wine in punch bowl.
Add strawberries and stir.
Spoon in ice-cream and sherbet, mixing.
Add ice ball preferably made of frozen punch.

Since our other sister is allergic to strawberries, we substituted raspberries.  The only other change I made was to use a tropical fruit punch instead to the regular berry one.  
Oh, and I didn't add the ice ball because I forgot to make one.

Here us how it turned out.


 Nothing like the recipe picture.  I am not even sure the other picture is from the same drink.

It did not look too tasty, but we managed to polish off 2 batches of it.  It actually tasted pretty good.  
One warning, don't look at it while you are drinking it.
