Any punch recipe will be good, but to keep it really cold, buy a 1/2 gallon of juice( that you will use in your punch), pour it into a picher,and freeze the carton with 50% juice and 50% 7-Up, when ready to make your punch,just cut away the paper carton and put the large chunk of ice into the punch bowl,the punch will stay cold for a long time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

here is my favorite!. I won't give amounts because that is easy to change depending on how many guests you have!.
Hi-C tropical drink or strawberry(or your favorite brand of same)
7-up or sprite or ginger ale!. which ever you like best
frozen whole strawberries!.
freeze at least 2 large amounts of the hi-c to float in the punch to keep it cold!. I used a large heart shaped jello mold to make the juice ice ring for a bridal shower that looked superb!.
mix equal amounts of well chilled juice and soda in a large punch bowl with the frozen chunk and add the whole frozen strawberries!. Stir gently!. I have used low sugar juice and diet soda when my diabetic relatives are guests too!. To add an interesting creaminess, you can have a third of the ingredients be strawberry flavored sherbet and that is very nice too!.
to keep it cold, you could set the punch bowl in another larger bowl full of crushed ice to help keep it cold!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
