I wasn't really sure how many people were going to be coming to the potluck I was having, so I wasn't really sure how much punch I should have been making. Out of 15 girls invited - 4 ended up showing because of the weather, plus my family and I (4). I was so glad I didn't have more show, because at the end of the night I only had enough punch left over to fill one glass! So it was clearly a huge hit!
I have never made punch before, but I've always had punch at other people's parties. Some can be great, others...well not so great. This recipe that I found, I was REALLY unsure of it. It did look a lot better than the other ones I found though.
I sliced up 1 whole Orange and 1 whole Lemon to put in the punch bowl. I also took some of the lemon slices and quartered them to put them in ice cubes.
I wasn't able to grab a picture of it, but it looked good and tasted great! My little sister's first comment was "This tastes like the fruit salad Mom makes for Christmas!! This is GREAT!!"...I didn't think it tasted like fruit salad, but it did taste great!
Here's what you need to make the Punch:
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
3 cups Pineapple Juice
3 cups Orange Juice
3 cups Grapefruit Juice
2 liters GingerAle
1/2 cup Lemon Juice
1/2 cup Lime Juice
1 Lemon
1 Orange
Chill the Juices before mixing all together all ingredients. Stir so the sugar dissolves into the punch. Add in ice cubes to keep cool! This made an entire punch bowl for me. Don't worry if it gets bubbly at first, it does disappear.
