Pour ginger ale over lime sherbert. Or orange sherbert, but don't mix them together - it gets ugly. Easy and good.

Hi S.,

I have served my punch in a beautiful ice ring and it really dresses up the punch, especially for special events. I have included below the recipe for the ice ring and a punch recipe I like as well, you can substitute the champagne for ginger ale. Enjoy!!

Punch Ring
1. Decoration suggestions:.
2. Apricot halves.
3. mint leaves.
4. orange peel.
5. green grapes.
6. strawberries or peaches.
7. Mix gingerale with lemon juice. (2 (12 oz) cans ginger ale and ½ cup lemon juice)
8. Pour 2 1/2 cups of the mixture into a 1 quart ring.
9. Freeze.
10. Arrange desired decorations on top of the ice.
11. Slowly, pour remaining juice mixture over the top so that you don't disturb your decorations.
12. Freeze -- To unmold, run cold water over the bottom; it will then slip out.
13. Float in the top of your punch bowl for a very pretty presentation.
Punch

1 bottle champagne or ginger ale (may be made without alcohol)
12 oz. frozen orange juice (diluted with 1 1/2 cans water)
12 oz. frozen pineapple juice (diluted with 2 1/2 c. water)
Or lg. 48 oz. pineapple juice
3/4 c. peach brandy (add more to taste)

We always do "poor man's champagne." It's equal parts white grape juice and lemon-lime soda. (You can also do two parts soda to one part juice for more bubbly and a lighter taste.) It's easy, inexpensive and looks pretty even in champagne glasses.

My mom taught me this recipe and every time we do something special we make it. Everyone loves it. You mix some type of Kool-Aid mix (we normally use cherry), two liters of Ginger Ale, A two liter of sprite or 7UP, and a can of pineapple juice, then you freeze it and take it out a couple of hours before serving to let it thaw out. It is quick and easy.

Hi S. - here's a no fail recipe for punch.

1 large bag frozen strawberries
I large can (like, one of the really big cans, maybe two quarts) of pineapple juice
1 2-liter of ginger ale
1 half-gallon of pineapple sherbet

You can change the sherbet to orange or lime, just change the juice to orange or lime, respectively. Add together and stir in a punch bowl. Soften the sherbet a LOT so it will melt and get all creamy. Mmmm ...

OR
2 bottles champagne

Mix all ingredients together using 1/2 the amount of water on directions for each frozen juice.

Hi,

Here's a simple, tasty, and pretty punch recipe:

2 litres of ginger ale
1/2 gallon raspberry sherbet
1 gallon red fruit punch

Chill ginger ale and punch, then right before you need it, pour punch into a large punch bowl. Scoop sherbet out into punch, and at the very last, pour the ginger ale on top of the sherbet. This makes a frothy pink punch that tastes and looks great.

Hope this helps!

My Mom catered for years and her favorite punch was 1 liter Sprite or equivalent,mixed with a 1/2 gallon ofpineapple sherbert. She would use a bunt ring pan spray lightly with pam and fill about 2 inches deep with sprite and add decorations like mint leaves or silk flowers and freeze this, then drop "pretty" side up in punch to keepit cold without diluting it. Simple and elegant. I hope this helps.

I've always liked the Celestial Seasonings raspberry zinger tea bags in 7 up bottle (leave overnight)as well as the white grape juice in ginger ale. But my all time fave is:

neopolitan (has three flavors of fruit) shebert with a citrus (or pineapple) soda. So simple, all of them, and very good.

The best punch I ever tasted is as follows:

Yellow Punch

12 oz frozen orange juice
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup boiling water
12 oz frozen lemonade
1 (46 oz) can unsweetened pineapple juice
5 cup cold tap water

Dissolve sugar in boiling water. Mix with other ingredients, using part of water to rinse juice containers. Make ahead and freeze in a clean plastic gallon jug. Thaw 4-5 hours before serving. Make it slushy by shaking the jug several times as it thaws or by using a hand potato masher (cut jug and empty punch into punch bowl or some other larger bowl).

Add 1 quart cold ginger ale at serving time.

Does not quite make a gallon.

I had this delicious punch at my bridal showers and wedding.

I'm not big on "fruity" punches so my all-time favorite is to mix 2 bottles of ginger ale with one bottle of white grape juice. It looks a lot like champagne and it's tasty and elegant looking.

Sounds so cool. I want to do that someday! What season is the ceremony? There's different punches for different seasons, which you can "shop" for online. One that's pretty basic that my extended family ALWAYS does is lime sherbet with ginger ale: it really is good, and not too sweet!

I have always made a punch for the kids' birthday parties.
I made one batch of red Koolaid (your preference on kind and on the sweetness), one large can of pineapple juice, and one 2-liter bottle of any clear soda(again, your preference). You can even put ice cream or shertbert in it to make it a little fancier.
I have served this to adults also, they usually insist that there is alcohol in it because of the pineapple juice--but there never is.
Hope this helps you out, S. S.

4. Let stand approximately 1 hour before serving to start thawing. Pour soda over frozen mixture and stir until it can be poured into glasses.

It can be done with juices other than lemonade and orange juice as well...we like to use limeade.

Buy 6 lemon-berry slushes from Sonic and freeze half, pour into a punch bowl and add some sprite to taste, pour in the frozen ones every now and then. It makes it pretty because there's already fruit in it, it's cheap, easy, and it already has ice!

You've already received lots of great recipes, but I just had to share this punch recipe with you. It was prepared for my baby shower, and it's my absolute favorite now. Although it's called "apricot" punch, it doesn't taste like apricots at all. I'm sure its called that simply b/c of the gelatin flavor that is used. It's a wonderful blend of fruit flavors, and everyone who tries it asks for the recipe. This recipe makes ALOT of punch!

Apricot Punch
2 6 oz pkgs apricot gelatin – mixed according to directions; do not chill prior to adding juices, though. (If apricot gelatin can't be found, then peach is a great alternative.)
4 cups sugar (can also use Splenda to lower the calories)
1 24 oz lemonade concentrate
1 24 oz frozen orange juice
2 large cans pineapple juice
2 TBSP almond extract

Mix and freeze. To serve, mix with equal part ginger ale.
