I have a couple, first the easy one.
Hawaiian Punch
White soda or ginger ale
Pineapple Juice
Equal parts of each - tangy, sweet and bubbly. Very yummy.
The other, a bit more difficult but VERY tasty.
1 can cranberry juice concentrate
3 cups water
1 2liter bottle ginger ale
1 pint raspberry sorbet (not sherbet).
4 limes (slice 2 thinly to put in bottom of glasses, squeeze other two into punch).
Mix all together. This one is fizzy and fun and sweet with a kick.
Good luck!

Just make Julius!!!
Yummy and COLD!
Take a large can of concentrated juice of any kind (the tradition is Orange, you know, Orange Julius)
Anyway. . . .One can of concentrate, 2 cups sugar, 1 can water, 2 cans milk, a little vanilla if you are so inclined.
That's your base. DO NOT drink it straight!
Pour into your BLENDER (not processor) about half way, add ice, cover and press on highest speed. I unscrew the little cap in the middle so I can add ice or more base depending on what the need is. Everyone will love, love, love it.
It sounds like work since you make the drinks as needed usually. But if you don't want to do that then just think ahead and put a punch bowl in the freezer. Make it all up and pour into the cold punch bowl then set the punch bowl in another contain of ice. It will be great for hours (if it lasts that long)
Hope you have a cool summer!

We make a couple different ones. First one is the one with sherbert.
1 2-Liter Ginger Ale
1 1/2 Gallon Sherbert (we like raspberry)
1 Can Hawaian Punch
1 Pkg Frozen Strawberries
Put them in your punch bowl and you are set. Running low? Just add a little more of each ingredient!
Another one we make is just
1 Can Hawaian Punch
1 2-Liter of 7-UP
It is a quick easy one to do. You can add fruit to it if you like. The kids always like the fruit in it around here!
Hope those help!

Take one bottle (2 liter) of seven up, 1or 2 can of fruit punch and some Sherbet
About ½ to ¾ of the gallon of sherbet to the punch and seven up.
You can use any brand you want and any flavor of sherbet you want.
Just kind of play with it.
I have just watched my MIL make it I haven’t made but I think that it was just 1 of each that she had used and this is pretty good summer time punch. And all the kids in our family just loved it as well as the grown ups! This makes a good size punch bowl full

Hope these help. Have a great summer!
Slush
1 small pkg jello
5 c sugar
2 large 7-ups
1 large can pineapple juice
13 c water
Dissolve jello in 1 c hot water. Mix sugar & 3 c water, boil 1 minute. Add juice & 9 c water, add in jello. Freeze. Thaw a little just before serving. Break up in small chunks & pour 7-up over.
Serves 36.
Punch
1 can Hawaiian punch
2 bottled 7up or Vernors
pint strawberries
2 mashed bananas
1 can crushed pineapple
1 can orange juice
½ gallon ice cream
Blender all fruit & puree.
Punch Plus
1 qt vanilla ice cream
1 qt pineapple juice
1 qt ginger ale
1 qt orange sherbet
Mix with beater & serve.
Vanilla Lemonade
1 can limeade
1 2-litre sprite
1/4 cup vanilla syrup (this is not the same thing as vanilla extract, it is found in the section of the grocery store for specialty drinks)
Great summer drinks also are smoothies. Use the following as a base idea, but you can use ANY juices, ANY fresh or frozen fruits, ANY sherbets/ice creams & create your own. I just create my own by using whatever I have on hand at the time.
Mango Smoothie.
Blend:
1 cup Passionfruit juice
1 cup Mango juice
1 c frozen mangos
½ c frozen strawberries
Add:
2 cups pineapple sherbet
Add:
1 cup ice
Blender until smooth.
Another favorite drink at our house is Julius'. We use any kind of frozen juice as a starter & follow the recipe below.
Orange Julius
6 oz orange juice
1 c milk
1 t vanilla
3 c ice
½ c sugar
Put all ingredients into blender & blend until smooth.
**Substitute ANY kind of frozen juice, grape, fruit punch, pineapple/orange, peach, etc.
**Substitute 1 c ice cream for milk & sugar.

Hi MK!
Our family's favorite punch is combining 7-up or Sprite to one of the following juices: white grape juice, apple cranberry, pomegrante cranberry, or any other favorite juice (haven't tried it with orange juice). You mix up the juice like normal, then you add a 2 liter bottle of 7-Up or Sprite (I prefer to use the diet version). Add ice to a glass and have a refreshing, flavorful drink with NO alcohol! :-) Enjoy!

You said EASY, and I'm all about that!
ONE 1/2-gallon sherbert (raspberry or lime - or get creative)
ONE large bottle Cranberry Juice Cocktail (Like at Sam's Club...gallon size?)
ONE 2-liter bottle 7-Up
Add in order to large punch bowl (scoop sherbert, not just dump the whole thing at once) and... Voila! Enjoy! We make this a LOT at gatherings, and everyone loves it. It is best if the liquids are cold to start with. The frozen sherbert will keep it cold awhile, so it usually doesn't require ice that may water it down.
