Hi. I am looking for some punch recipes to use around the holidays.. Think it has been years since I had some sparkly punch.. Thanks for your help!!
Equal parts orange juice, cranberry juice and sprite works for me! You can make a fruit ring with a bundt pan, water, orange and peach slices, marishino cherries and place it in the center of the bowl. Looks pretty and is delicious!
For the kids, we fill the punch bowl with gingerale and float raspberry or orange sherbert on top - lime sherbert on Halloween. They love it!
Frozen limeaid and frozen lemonade with 7-up. Super yummy and super easy!!
My favorite is a 2-liter bottle of Sprite (or Sierra Mist or 7-up), 1 half-gallon of lemonade and a tub of raspberry sherbet. You can also use a different flavor of sherbet but my favorite is raspberry!
Sprite and orange sherbet!
My mother found a fantastic recipe for my wedding reception. It's called Champagne Punch- but is alcohol free. (Does sorta remind you of champagne though so the kiddos might not love it.)
- 2 containers White grape juice (64 oz each)
- 1 liter bottle of Club Soda
- 2 2Liter bottles of 7-up (you could use ginger ale also)
Combine all chilled ingredients in a large punch bowl!
It's so yummy! You could garnish with frozen raspberries, blueberries or even grapes for fun color and flavor too! :)
And I made a great punch for a friends babyshower.
- 1 thawed pint of Strawberry Sorbet (I used Haagen-Dazs)
- 1 2 Liter of 7-Up (Sprite or Sierra Mist)
- 2 qts Raspberry or Strawberry Lemonade (I used powdered country time and pre-made it)
Mix all ingredients in a punch bowl and garnish with fresh or frozen raspberries! It was a spur of the moment idea and everyone loved it and asked for the recipe!
Happy Holidays!!
If you're wanting VERY simple and VERY good still just mix one bottle of Sprite and one bottle of cranberry juice. Even people who claim not to like cranberries love it! You can add some orange slices at the top or some fresh cranberries at the top to make it even prettier but it's a nice, red color :)
Mmmmm -I'm a sucker for the classic lime sherbet punch (and it looks festive at the holidays). Put a half gallon (or whatever size they've whittled it to) brick of lime sherbet in a punch bowl. In a separate bowl, mix a can of pineapple juice, a 2 liter bottle of ginger ale, and if you want a jar of maraschino cherries with the juice and pour that over the sherbet. It's sooooo tasty!
Another good one is to pour 1/2 a bottle of cranapple, 1/2 a bottle of cranberry, gingerale and your favorite flavor of sparkling cider together.
****Hahaha -I didn't read the other answers before I posted, but it certainly looks like I'm not the only sherbet punch fan!
One box of green sherbet
one 2 liter of 7-up (chilled)
Put the sherbet in a punch bowl and pour the 7-up over it. Kinda break up the sherbet with your punch ladle and done!
It is so yummy and was always a staple at my family's New Years Eve when I was a kid...
Ok, NOT sparkly but I couldn't resist sharing. This one is really yummy!
Chocolate Punch/Frapachino
6 cups water
½ cup instant chocolate drink mix like nesquick
½ cup sugar
¼ cup instant coffee
½ gallon vanilla ice cream (I use Blue Bell)
½ gallon chocolate ice cream (I use Blue Bell)
In medium size pot, bring water to a boil and remove from heat. Add chocolate drink mix, sugar and coffee. Stir until dissolved. Pour in a pitcher or container. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. About 30 minutes before serving, mix cold mixture with ice cream in a very large container or punch bowl.
Serves about 20.
Sprite and grape juice. Pour equal portions of each. Yummy.
or
Sprite, lemonade (mix up first), orange juice and pineapple juice. Mix equal portions of each. Yummy again!
My favorite punch for christmas is lime sherbet and ginger ale. You can also add pineapple juice for a little extra flavor. You can use any flavor of sherbet, but it is our family tradition to do lime for christmas. (I have never had anyone turn down this punch...its easy and yummy)
1 container Hawaiian Punch--any flavor
1 2-Liter of ginger ale
If you want to add a bit of "creaminess" to it, throw in a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream or a sherbert that goes along w/ the Hawaiian punch flavor.
Sprite, with any color sherbert and lots of ice. Frothy, fizzy and yummy. Just don't mix colors or it will look gross) A pink (strawberry sherbert) punch bowl next to a (lime sherbert) green would look pretty.
I have a recipe for a very yummy, but different punch:
Coffee punch
1/2 c instant coffee grandules
2 c sugar
3 qts hot water
2 qts milk
1Tbsp vanilla

Yieldd 8 qts.
