Anyone Have An Awesome Punch Recipe?

[TangoWedding]

We're doing a punch bowl...but have no idea what punch to make. FSIL is getting me one she read that's a grape punch, which sounds awesome...but we're not sure yet.

So I thought I'd ask you all. Know of any super yummy ones we can make??

Cran-Raspberry Fizz (Pampered Chef Recipe)

What you will need:

4 limes, divided
1 can (12 ounces) frozen cranberry juice concentrate
3 cups cold water
1 pint raspberry sorbet, softened
2 liters chilled ginger ale

Directions:

1. Slice two of the limes, set aside. Pour concentrate and water into pitcher (or bowl, if you should so desire).

2. Juice remaining limes into pitcher. Scoop sorbet into pitcher, stir to combine. Add ginger ale and lime slices, again, stir. Serve over ice.

What I did when I made it was added 2 cups of raspberry vodka. It was so good and refreshing. You could also use cranberry, currant, citrus or lime vodka. Yum!!

3-1/3 cups pineapple juice
3/4 teaspoon lime juice
1-1/8 (12 fluid ounce) cans or bottles Sprite (7up or other lemon-lime soda)
2-3 cups crushed ice

---------------------------------------------------------------------

DIRECTIONS:
In a large punch bowl, combine lemonade concentrate, pineapple and lime juice. Stir in soda and crushed ice last, just before serving. Float fresh fruit garnish on top.

I also have a little cook book that has several in there, let me know if you want more and I can post.

I use this one for our parties at work all the time. It is super easy to make and isn't too sweet or too tart. It is also a pretty red color too!

1 can frozen pink lemonade (12 oz)
1/2 can frozen pineapple juice concentrate (12 oz)
1 gallon cranberry juice (or cocktail)
2 liters of gingerale

Mix concentrates together, added juice and gingerale. Dress up with floating fruit if you like.

i dont know the "real" recipe but at my friends wedding reception, which was held in her parents home, (very low key but very nice!) they had a punch that had pineapple juice, gingerale, and frozen strawberry kool aid (or somethng like it) floating in the punch bowl then they threw in whole strawberrys and chunks of pineapple. It was really good for the early evening reception then when the real "party" started she poured in some rum(to taste) lol and it was really good!

Sorry girl I don't know any specific recipes, but I know a lot of people who get excited when they see sorbet floating in a punch bowl! Silly, I know. :upsidown: I'm one of those people though. I love that kind of punch, regardless of what flavor it is.

Anything with a pineapple flavor is great too though. That flavor profile would also go very well with your overall theme.

They all sound yummy. I found one while looking for ideas for the menu. I'll see if I can find it.

My FMIL makes an incredible punch - she gets asked to make it all the time for stuff at church - and she will be making it for our rehearsal dinner - but I have no idea what is in it!!

I think my favorite summer drink is my mom's mint lemonade though...I will try to find the recipe and post it. YUM!
