I made this punch recipe for a baby shower. Everyone loved it! I mixed everything but the ginger ale together and froze it a few days before the shower. The day of the shower, I took the punch from the freezer about an hour before serving to let it thaw a little. Put it in my punch bowl and added the ginger ale. It made a delicious slushy punch. I will definately use this recipe again in the future. Thanks for sharing!!
This is a great recipe! I've made it twice now with rave reviews both times. It makes a LOT so I've only made a half batch at a time. I've used cherry flavored drink mix packets and with the pineapple juice the punch tastes like a liquid version of the 'Big Stick' popsicle sticks I used have as a child. The first time I made it I froze it (before adding the ginger ale) and took it out about 2 hours before my party. Unfortunately that was not nearly enough time and the punch was still frozen. So my husband spent a while with an ice pick chipping away at the frozen ice punch block. The end result was a very nice slushee punch which everyone enjoyed but I highly recommend taking it out at least 7 hours before your party. That's what I did this last time I made the punch and the result was perfect. 2/11/05 I'm amending my review. I made this today for a baby shower (half recipe) and as another reviewer had suggested I put only 1 cup sugar 1 quart water and 2 liters of ginger ale. It turned out perfect! That's how I am going to make it from now on. Yummy...
Very easy and inexpensive. We used this at a wedding last weekend. Everyone loved it. I have used more complicated recipes in the past but will use this from now on. I believe that you could experiment with different flavors of drink mixes in order to change the color of the punch.
Loved this punch! Made 1/2 recipe(w/ minor alters) & it filled 2 punch bowls full! 2 koolaid 1 can pineapple 1 1/4 c. sugar 1 qt(4 cups) water 2 liters ale. Mix sugar koolaid & h2o then add juice. Pour into ziplocs & freeze flat stacked in cake pan. 4 hrs = slush. I "picked" ice to perfection right B4 party. Rave reviews!! Thanks
I made this punch for 2 baby showers and it was a big hit both times. I used cherry kool-aid instead of strawberry and added a bit more water to cut the sweetness a little. I followed some other reviews and froze the punch in multiple zip-loc bags which made less thawing time.
This punch was absolutely wonderful! My husband who is not a punch fan could NOT stop drinking it. I took others advice and added a bit more ginger ale and a little less water. It was great. I will definitely make again! I also added fresh strawberries to float in it and made an ice ring with frozen strawberries...kept it cold all day!
Absolutely Wonderful and Easy to Make!!! I made this for my sons 3rd Birthday Party. We had 20 people here and I made the 50 serving punch. It was all gone except for 2 glass fulls. Everyone raved about how delicious it was and it is so simple to make!!! I will make this for all my functions from now on.
I used green lemon-lime koolaid instead for halloween and it tasted really good. It was so easy to make! I even threw in a few plastic spiders and snakes when I froze it and I placed a glow stick under the punch bowl that night for an eerie glow!
This is WONDERFUL! I received so many compliments on it and the punch literally disappeared in no time! It was really easy to make then put in the freezer overnight. The next day I added the ginger ale as it thawed out so it was slushy by party time. This has become a permanent recipe for me!
Good but average. It tastes like fruit punch. I like more carbonation.
