Quick & Easy Punch Recipes for a June Wedding

[wadesgirl]

Anyone have any quick easy punch recipes they would like to share? My brother is getting married in June and when they tried the punch at their reception vendor he said it was really gross. I told him I would see if anyone had any ideas.

This is one I like a lot and have made several times for parties. I don't know why it's called CHRISTMAS Punch....it works year round! "Christmas Punch"

Ingredients 2 quarts cranberry juice
2 quarts lemonade
2 quarts pineapple juice
2 quarts carbonated lemon-lime beverage or 2 quarts ginger ale ( or less)Directions 1. Pour all of the juices together in a big punch bowl.
2. Add enough soda to give the punch a kick, but not so much that the flavor of the juices is diluted.

This is my favorite recipe it is super easy and delicious and CHEAP!!1 canister of Lipton lemon tea (I have also used the peach and the mango)
1 bottle of chilled gingeraleto make the tea omit water and substitute with the gingerale
this is great in a punch bowl over crushed (Sonic if you have one) iceIt will fix so mix slowly

Easy Punch
1 Lg bottle of Juicy Juice(fruit punch or cherry)
1 Lg bottle 7-up or gingerale
Dump together and thats it.

Another is to use White grape juice and gingerale(same sizes as above)
looks and bubbles like Champagne
