- Chill All Your Liquids: Ensure all liquid ingredients – pineapple juice, orange juice, and sparkling lemon-lime soda – are thoroughly chilled in the refrigerator for at least a few hours, or even overnight.
- Prepare Your Punch Base: In a large punch bowl, gently combine the well-chilled pineapple juice and orange juice. Stir to mix, then slowly pour in the sparkling lemon-lime soda (or ginger ale).
- Add the Frozen Fruit: Carefully add the frozen pineapple chunks to the punch bowl and give everything another gentle stir.
- Scoop the Snowballs Just Before Serving: Use an ice cream scoop to create generous scoops of vanilla ice cream and gently float these 'snowballs' on top of the punch.
- Garnish and Serve Immediately: Drizzle a little grenadine over the ice cream scoops or around the edges of the punch bowl. Arrange fresh pineapple wedges, maraschino cherries, and mint sprigs around the bowl or directly into the punch. Serve immediately.
