Instructions
- Rim serving glasses with water and red sanding sugar, allowing them to dry completely for an elegant presentation.
- In a large punch bowl, thoroughly blend thawed limeade concentrate with chilled pineapple juice until fully integrated.

Notes
- Customize the rim by using different colored sugars to match party themes or holiday colors.

- Swap lime sherbet with vanilla or green apple sherbet for alternative flavor profiles.
- Make a kid-friendly version by omitting heavy cream and using additional soda for a lighter texture.
