Green Punch

I needed something nonalcoholic for an Eagles party and this was perfect! My guests loved it. I added a few drops of green food coloring to amp up the color. Giving it a 4 instead of 5 stars because of the 2 cups of sugar issue – I skipped the additional sugar completely and it truly DOESN’T need it. I wonder if the original composer of the recipe was using unsweetened components to build the punch. SKIP the sugar; if you’re using standard jello, juices, and soda, it’s plenty sweet.

Delicious recipe! I followed direction, except did not add sugar. It didn’t need the extra – was perfectly sweet. Will definitely make again!

I made this for my son’s superhero themed birthday party and labeled it “Hulk Punch”. It was good but very sweet.

I have been making this for years, and it is a request for every event we have.

Everyone loved this punch! I did not add sugar or the cold water after reading some reviews and I’m glad I didn’t. It was perfect without it.

Made this for Saint Patrick’s day, omitted all sugar and it was still a tad sweet. But was a huge hit so there’s that! Made it and adults where using it as a mixer while kids where (obviously) drinking it virgin. Everyone liked it!

Made this for Halloween and it disappeared. Everyone loved it. Only used 1/4 cup of sugar. Added about 1.5 cups of malibu rum for the adult version. Also used ice instead of water to keep it cold.

I make this every year for Halloween. I use Sierra Mist instead of ginger ale because of the high fructose corn syrup in ginger ale. I omit the sugar. It’s plenty sweet enough. I got a “brain mold” from a party store and fill it with softened orange sherbet, then freeze . Plop it in the green punch and it is awesome! BRAIN PUNCH!

I made this for a club meeting and some people thought it was good. One person remarked on how sweet it was and thankfully I had read other reviewers comments that said to leave out the sugar. I also found it too sweet and sort of artificial tasting. One other note of caution: don’t try to make it ahead of time! I thought I would assemble it the night before so I didn’t have to take so many separate things to the site of our club meeting. I am so glad I thought to check it early! I had made Jello! I had to go buy new Jello and a new can of pineapple juice…good thing I had not added the oj. Guess I should have known, but now you are warned! Wish I had used limeade instead of OJ. The color would have been prettier.

This was a big hit at my Halloween party. I didn’t add any sugar and it was plenty sweet. I also added a 750ml bottle of Tito’s vodka.

Great punch but I had a few changes. I did not use the sugar but put in lime sherbet instead.

I’ve made this punch for everything from my daughter’s birthday party to a friend’s bridal shower with an option to add some Malibu (coconut rum) to it. I do not add any sugar as I think it’s sweet enough the way it is and I never have any left over. I’m not a big fan of traditional punch but even I can’t say no to this stuff!

definitely backed off on the sugar to about half or less

Wayyyyy too sweet

Excellent! I made it for a Christmas gathering. Everyone loved it. I agree with some other review – sugar could probably be cut down. Most thought is was fine but a couple people commented on sweetness. Excellent recipe and I will definitely be using again.

This is a great punch ***IF*** you cut back on, or cut out the sugar. I made this for two different parties this last weekend. First one I made as written but used only one cup sugar per some of the review. It was way too sweet and I couldn’t fathom ever using two cups! People liked it and none was left but again, not for me. For the second party I made per the recipe and left out all the sugar and it was fantastic! I would have given this recipe 5 stars if it didn’t call for the sugar. In each batch I used about 1 and 1/2 bottles of rum.

Ho hum and too sugary

Very yummy! Kids and parents finished it in no time at a St. Patrick’s Day party. Between the pineapple juice and the oj concentrate, 2 cups of sugar sounded way too sweet. I decided to omit the sugar altogether and add it if necessary and there was no need. Without sugar, it was refreshing and fizzy! Will def make again.

This was delicious. I did cut the sugar a bit and renamed it Grinch Punch for our holiday party. Everyone wanted the recipe. Yum yum.

I made this for a baby shower and it was a hit. It’s very sweet and could probably be “cut” with more ginger ale.

I thought this was pretty good but sweet. My kids (teenagers) didnt really care for it.
