This one is very simple. It is called Mock-champagne punch. It is one cup of Apple juice to 1 liter of 7-up. That is it. It goes with everything and is very simple.
Good luck!

My family uses this recipe for everything from kids birthday parties to white tie events. We call it Slush Punch but it is a different recipe than the other ones you have gotten.

1 lrg. pkg.Strawberry Jello mix according to directions

add 1/2 cup sugar
add pineapple juice canned or frozen
orange juice
(we always use equal amounts of both - according to size of party)

FREEZE IT. (I like it in a bunt cake mold because it looks prettier and you can ladel it from the center hole whcih is fun.)

Day of party remove from freezer - put in punch bowl and add equal parts of ginger ale and club soda (chilled).

Extra good and no one can ever get enough.

Got this recipe off the internet and it is good. Was made for a child's birthday party minus the alcohol, of course.

VOLCANIC PUNCH
3 cans frozen fruit punch concentrate
1 64oz-can pineapple juice
1 can cream of coconut
2 2-Liters ginger ale
ice cubes
To make alcoholic add the optional: vodka
In a large punch bowl add the 3 cans of frozen fruit punch concentrate. Keep one of the empty frozen juice cans. Fill the can with water 6 times and add to punch bowl. Add pineapple juice, one bottle of ginger ale, and ice cubes then stir. Then add as much of the 2nd bottle of ginger ale as possible leaving at least 3 inches from the rim of the punch bowl and stir again. Pour in the can of cream of coconut on top. If you want the punch to be alcoholic add vodka. Will serve 40-70 people

Hi, I have always had great success with Sherbert punch... I take a 1/2 gallon of Sherbert (orange or lime) dont do rainbow cause it ends up being brown) any way, then you add 1- 2, 2 liter bottles of gingerale I always have to make a second punch bowl of this because every one loves it.

for extra flair, you can make an ice ring with a jello mold and put cherries, sliced oranges, and mint leaves in the gingerale filled ring (not water or it will water the punch down) and freeze.

Hope that helps

Here are 2. The simpler one is for little kids and the other for teens. Both get rave reviews.
Slush Punch
1 pkg. tropical punch Kool-aid
1 large can pineapple juice
1 cup sugar
Mix and freeze. Take out a couple of hours before the party and thaw to a slushy mix. This makes great homemade popsicles, too!

Almond Punch
1 lg. can frozen lemonade
2 pkgs. Jello (strawberry is best)
4c hot water
3 small pkgs tropical punch Kool aid
3 cups sugar
2 t almond extract
1 lg. can pineapple juice
2 (2L) Sprite
Mix 3 cans of water with lemonade. In sauce pan, bring 4 cups of water to boil and add Jello, stirring to dissolve. Add to lemonade mix followed by the Kool aid and sugar. Stir well and freeze. It will take 2 big pitchers. When ready to serve, set out for 1 hour and stir. Add the Sprite to make a slushy mix.

Good luck.

This is the one my Mother used forever and I still do.

Equal parts Hawian Punch and a 7-up type soda. I get them both at the 99cent or Dollar Tree. Then Raseberry Sherbet scoopes floating in the punch.

The other thing my mother used to do was to Freeze part of the Hawian Punch in either jello molds or ice cube trays so that the punch stays cold but doesnt get watered down.

Have fun at your Party!

Strawberry-Lime Punch

1 ½ c pineapple juice
½ c orange juice
2 Tbs lime juice
½ c sugar
1 package (10 oz) frozen sliced strawberries with sugar, thawed
4 ½ c lemon-lime soda

Mix ingredients in Quick-Stir Pitcher
Recipe says it makes 16 servings, but for a party of 10 I would double it.

I also usually don't add the 1/2 c sugar and don't buy the berries in the sugar. It's sweet enough. It's also very pretty. Slice some fresh limes to top and/or sliced fresh strawberries.

We have one that we serve at a brunch that is always a hit with adults and kids...

________________________________________
4 cups cranberry juice cocktail
8 cups lemonade -- prepared
2 cups orange juice
1 4 oz. jar maraschino cherries
2 liters ginger ale
1 Orange -- sliced into rounds

In a large punch bowl, combine cranberry juice cocktail, lemonade, and orange juice. Stir in the maraschino cherries. Refrigerate for 2 hours or more. When ready to serve, pour in the ginger ale. Garnish each glass with an orange slice.

Make sure you have a big punch bowl... this makes a LOT! We found that the Maraschino cherries were kind of a waste of time and effort...but you can add the juice...personal preferance.

Hi J.,
Here is the one I have started using...

1 3oz box Cherry Jell-o
1 can frozen pineapple-orange juice concentrate (or whatever flavor you like)
1 quart cranberry juice cocktail, chilled
Ginger Ale, chilled

Dissolve the Jell-o in 1 cup boiling water. Stir in frozen juice concentrate. Add 3 cups cold water and chilled cranberry juice. Pour over ice into punch bowl and then add chilled ginger ale to taste, maybe 1 liter or so. You can add sherbet if you want to. It makes about 25 servings.

You can vary the jell-o and juice flavors and create your own version :) Take care!

There are several different kinds you can try. My favorite is lime sherbet and ginger ale. You can use the ginger ale with any kind of sherbet and it will taste yummy. You can also try Hawaiian Punch, Pineapple juice and Sprite/7UP/Ginger ale.

Hope that helps!

I hope it's not too late for this recipe, but if it is, please save it and use it next time you have a party (like an adult-only party, pampered chef, or even during the holidays ~ you can spike it if adults only will be drinking it) or just want to make something refreshing and healthy for your family to drink. I made this punch a couple years ago for my daughter's birthday party, and everyone LOVED it! I haven't made it since because I didn't have the money for the ingredients (I've fallen on some very hard economic times), but I intend on making it again! I doubled the recipe and ran out! Now, some things I had a hard time finding (like anything sugar-free), so I just used what was available at the store. I found it in The Ultimate Weight Solution Cookbook by Dr. Phil (so it defeats the purpose if you spike it, but still...):

Festive Fruit Punch (16 servings)
~ 4 cups unsweetened white grape juice
~ 1 (15-oz) can frozen unsweetened pineapple juice concentrate, thawed
~ 1 (15-oz) can frozen unsweetened orange juice concentrate, thawed
~ 2 (1L) bottles sugar-free raspberry seltzer (preferably clear)

1) Pour the white grape juice into ice cube trays and freeze at least 4 hours or overnight.
2) Combine the pineapple and orange juices and seltzer in a large punch bowl. Add the grape juice ice cubes and serve at once. If no punch bowl is available, serve in large pitchers.

**Note: If you chill the white grape juice first, it will yield clearer ice cubes that are less resistant to shattering. For an extra fancy presentation, place 1 raspberry in each ice cube compartment before adding the white grape juice. Each cube will then have a little jewel-like raspberry in its center.

I'm sure you can also add sherbert (rainbow or just one flavor). I never tried it like that, but I bet it would taste great! You can also put slices of orange in to float on top. Myabe serve some pineapple or pineapple/orange fruit salad on the side You can play with this as you need! Enjoy!!!

1 tub of Strawberry Kiwi Crystal Light
1 2 liter bottle of Ginger Ale (reg or diet) refigerated

Use large, at least 1 gallon, pitcher as it fizzes when mixed. Pour over ice. I make this for many occasions and kids as well as adults love it. For holiday time I use Raspberry Ice Crystal Light for a pretty red punch. Also for the adults you can mix with vodka or rum for a little kick.
My kids think its a great "special treat" when I make this for no good reason other than it's so easy. ENJOY!!!

Just buy rasberry sherbert or orange or whatever flavor you want and add liters of ginger ale to it. Makes a bubbly, yummy punch that everybody likes. Just add however much of each depending on how strong you want the flavor to be. Probably need two liters of ginger ale for every gallon of sherbert.

This is quick and yummy, perhaps more for adults than children;

Mix about 2 quarts of lemonade (Countrytime works just fine), add about 8 ounces of 100% pineapple juice, ginger to taste. I peel fresh ginger and put it in the blender with about 3/4 cups of water and puree the heck out of it. I then strain it and pour the "ginger juice" into the lemonade. You could also juice the ginger but I think it's too much trouble to get out the juicer.

You may need to add a little more sugar but it's all according to what tastes good to you. (I'm not a drinker but if I were, I'll bet this would be good with a shot of rum but you didn't hear me say that).
