Easy Red Party Punch

This is a classic recipe for a fast and easy fruit punch. It tastes SO GOOD.

Easy Red Party Punch

From: Merletta

1 Big can of Hawaiian Punch

2 Cans frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed

1 Large Container Orange Sherbert

Mix fruit punch and orange juice together and pour into punch bowl. Add sherbert to punch and let it melt into punch during party. As the sherbert dissolves the punch gets better and better! 

Wedding Punch

This is a great punch recipe for special occasions like weddings or anniversary parties. This recipe is one my sister in law, Jamie, had at her wedding and a year later I asked her to make it for my wedding. It is SO GOOD you better be prepared to make a double batch. 

Wedding Punch

Recipe from: Jamie R.

1- 40 oz. can pineapple juice

1-12 oz. can frozen orange juice

1- 12 oz. can frozen lemonade

6 cups of water

½ cup of sugar

2- 32 oz. bottle ginger ale.

Mix all except ginger ale together. When ready to put in punch bowl add ginger ale.

Can freeze punch until time to use.

Idea: If you have a pretty looking jello or cake mold, pour some of the punch into the mold and freeze it ahead of time. Float the ring in the punch bowl to make it more interesting, keep the punch cold, and as the ring melts it won't water down your punch. You can also add fruit to the punch ring before you freeze it. 

Sweet Tea

There is nothing better than a tall cold glass of iced tea. This is one of those things that people don't really have a RECIPE for, and every one makes it their own way. But I also know that when you find yourself newly married or off at College and suddenly Momma isn't around to make the sweet tea... you may not know how. So for those of us who need to know the basics.. this is how I make sweet tea! 

Sweet Tea

From: Jamie R.

1. Boil Water
2. Add 7 small tea bags ( I use LIPTON) 
3. Take off heat & let stand for a few hours (the longer the better)
4. Pour tea into 2 gallon pitcher
5. Add 2 cups of sugar
6. Add water
7. Stir

Serve over ice in a tall glass!

Now my Mom, Judy, makes it much sweeter and a little stronger. She uses 10 tea bags and no less than 3 cups of sugar. But I like mine the way Jamie taught me how to make it!
