im hosting a bridal shower party(1st time) and the brides mother has requested a punch
2 bottles of sprite or 2 bottles of tropical punch and 2 small contaniers of rainbow sherbert! I love it I serve it at all my partys and everyone like it pluse alot of people want the recipie! and you don't even need ice because the sherbert keeps it cold as long as you add it when it melts!
punch + vodka
Half gallon of sherbet (I like pineapple) topped with a 2 liter bottle of 7-UP. You can also float pineapple slices, maraschino cherries or berries in it. YUM!
punch + brandy
The very easiest recipe is Sherbert and Lemon/lime soda. The nice thing is that you have a choice of colors - all flavors are good. I used the for my wedding punch my colors were mauve and ivory so I used a the raspberry sherbert. Some ppl add pineapple juice but I like just the soda.
(avoid the rainbow sherbert the punch will be a yucky grey green)
I'd go with the sherbet and soda. You can use lime sherbet and 7up or orange with orange soda, pineapple is good too, but not everyone likes pineapple.
Or you can experiment with combining different types of fruit juices. Use a little pineapple for that tart flavor punches have.
4 - 12 ounce cans orange juice
3 - 12 ounce cans frozen lemonade
2 - 48 ounce cans pineapple juice
4 quarts water
2 - 48 ounce bottles ginger ale
Preparation:
Mix all the juices and water in a large pitcher or punch bowl. When ready to serve add ginger ale and ice cubes.
