If you are hosting a graduation party, a baby or bridal shower, or a reception of some sort, you need a good punch recipe that makes plenty for a crowd. This is a really good one, because it's fairly easy, serves a crowd and it is loved by all ages! You can also vary it up some, depending on who you are serving. You can serve it like this with an ice ring or mold in the center or you can leave the ice ring out and add your favorite ice cream sherbet to it. This makes it frothy on top and if you are serving children or teens, they love it! Here is what you will need:
2 (2 liter) 7 Ups or Sprites
2 (2 liter) Ginger Ales
3 (64 oz.) tropical punch ( We used Fruit Juicy Red Hawaiian Punch)
3 Oranges (sliced in thin slices with the peel left on)
3 lemons (sliced in thin slices with peel left on)
3 limes (sliced thin slices with the peel left on)
1 pint fresh strawberries, capped and sliced
ice ring or mold
Variation: Substitute 1/2 gallon of your favorite sherbet for the ice ring! You can use pineapple, lime, orange, raspberry sherbet, whatever you like or which goes well with your theme or event!
Place your ice ring or mold in the center of the punch bowl. Pour the 7-Up, Ginger Ale, and tropical punch over the ice, which will float to the top. If your punch bowl won't hold all of this, use about half of all of the liquid and then just add to the bowl as the guests are served. Right before serving add the fruit all around the outside of the ice ring! Don't add the fruit too early, because as if it sits for too long it can make it bitter. If you are using the sherbet, scoop it in
at the last!
This makes a really pretty punch for special occasions and it's delicious!
