ahhhh punch. Growing up Latter Day Saint (Mormon), I can claim with certainty, that no one has had more punch than I have. Every function. Every party. Every reception. Punch. And now there is a holiday to celebrate it!! Mormons are notorious for their punch. Legit.
PINEAPPLE ORANGE PUNCH
- 2 CUPS PINEAPPLE JUICE
- 2 CUPS ORANGE JUICE
- 3 TBSP KEY LIME JUICE
refrigerate to chill. Before serving add
- 2 cups lemon lime soda
- fresh orange, lime and pineapple slices.
PINK SHERBET MORMON PUNCH (This makes a HUGE amount)
I dont recommend making this too far in advance. You want the liquids to still be cold but not flat from sitting out.
- 2 liter sprite
- 2 liter club soda or sparkling water
- (ONE)12oz can fruit punch, mostly thawed
- (TWO) 12oz cans frozen lemonade, mostly thawed
- Frozen raspberries or strawberries
- strawberry or raspberry sherbet
Prescoop sherbet into about 12-15 balls and keep in freezer (You will add this right before serving)
In your punch bowl combine your mostly thawed frozen cans with your 2 liter of sprite.
Stir. Add up to half of the club soda or sparkling water and taste to see how sweet it is. If it is too sweet, add more water. Remember you will be adding sherbet to this mix, so you dont want to too terribly sweet.
You can add frozen strawberries or raspberries as well at this point. Right before serving, add your scoops of sherbet.
NOTE: This can be made with orange juice and orange sherbet, lemonade and lime sherbet, rainbow sherbet. The combinations are endless!
EASY PEASY SPARKLING PUNCH
- 2 Liter bottle FRESCA soda. If you dont have fresca, you can substitute Sierra Mist and add a little pink grapefruit juice for bitterness
- 1 can frozen white grape juice concentrate
- orange slices and raspberries for garnish
Combine and serve. VOILA. A perfect and delicious bright and cheeerful punch!!
