Haven’t made recently, but used to make it every summer in the 90s. EXCEPT made it with a cup or two of rum or vodka – this kept it slushy in the freezer, so it can be served any time, just spoon into your glass, and top up with 7up or ginger ale.

This is one of my favorite drinks to make at the holidays. Always so good.

I had made this about 30 years ago for parties and it was always a big hit. Lost the recipe and was so happy to find it here. Made it for a bridal shower. Had to change the lemonade for limeade as I have developed an allergy to lemons. Still a big hit. In fact I thought it was even better with the limeade. Seemed to add a bit more zip. A number of people added a splash of champagne to their punch.

Yep This is a tasty punch – and seriously consider just not adding the extra sugar. I’ve made this for several graduations and other gatherings and 1 time I forgot to add the extra sugar – think about the other ingredients – there is plenty of sweetness without it and I haven’t added the sugar since – Sometimes add 2 lbs of strawberries when I have them. Freeze in smaller containers or zip lock bags to make punch bowl size portions, but plan to need to to refresh often as it goes fast.

I have made this punch for most of my kids’ weddings and church banquets. It is an incredible crowd pleaser.

Made it for a birthday party. All the kids liked it. It went so fast I didn’t bother freezing it. The concentrates were frozen, after all. I did half the ginger ale, due to space, and half the pineapple juice because the birthday boy wasn’t a pineapple fan. Easy. It’s a keeper. An adult version would likely be good with rum.

I lost this recipe long ago . I’m so happy I found it I made this for all my children’s party’s. I too make an ice ring with seasonal fruit . Now I can make it for my grandchildren .

Cut the sugar to 1 1/2 cups as other reviews suggested. Serving is easy as it needs no ice.
Miguel Banks
I followed the recipe exactly and it was way too sweet. After we watered it down quite a few people did drink some.

I have been making this punch for parties years and am finally taking the time to review it. It is absolutely delightful and people always ask for the recipe. I once served it at a bridal shower for my sister and then made it a couple years later at her baby shower and some of the guests from the bridal shower remembered it at her baby shower. That’s how good it is! It is worth the time of blending and freezing to make your own “sherbert”. Say bye bye to store bought sherbert and ginger ale in your punch bowl!

This drink i will always make it again. the reason is because its like heaven in your mouth :). so i think everyone should try this even if they havent already because you will want to make more of it.

My mom used to make this when I was growing up – people often asked for the recipe, but she always called it her “secret recipe” – mom lives overseas now, but so glad someone else knew her secret. This is without fail one of the easiest, most delicious, most versatile punch mixes to make. Perfect for entertaining.
Brandon Atkinson
I skipped the sugar completely and it was plenty sweet. With all the sweet juice concentrates, I couldn’t imagine adding more sugar. We added rum for those who wanted it and everyone was happy!

Froze some in ice cube trays and freezer bags. Microwaved bags to just-slightly-softened stage and then used potato masher to create slush. Makes enough for several small parties. Good in lemon-lime sodas and other sparkling beverages. You can add fresh fruit to the glass for a pretty presentation.
Mark Caldwell
Just tried this punch and thought it was quite yummy! I didn’t add any extra sugar and it was perfectly sweet for me! I also used pink lemonade concentrate.
Charlene Massey
Excellent punch! I made this for a party and had almost none left over. I agree with previous reviewers about the sugar – nowhere near 3 cups is required, it’s quite sweet enough with 1 1/2!
Alison Collins
Every one at my party loved it! I dont even like punch and I loved it. It really taste the best with some Mailbu Rum in it. Great drink!!!!
Steven Miller
This was a hit at our baby shower! I floated sliced oranges and lemons in a punch bowl. This makes a TON, so plan on saving a quart bag in your freezer for another use later!
John Watts
It was a hit! I wasn’t too strict about the block of slush to the one bottle of gingerale, I just did what felt right, and it was delicious! One family member said she normally didn’t even like bananas but she really liked the punch! I used empty coffee cans (cleaned of course) to freeze the punch in. It made about 5 of these size (I actually improvised for the last 2 because i only had 3 cans but that’s besides the point. Try this out! It’s great!
