I am hosting a bridal shower in June, and I'm ready to bring the punch
bowl I got for Green Stamps in the 60's up from the basement! Does
anyone have a not-too-alchoholic punch recipe they like? I don't want
the guests TOO happy! Please let me know your suggestions.

i did this over the holidays and it was yummy! It was a 2 liter bottle of
7-up (can be diet), a half gallon of OJ and add as much vodka as you want to
ge tthem as drunk (or not) as you want. Put all this in the punch bowl then
slide in a half-gallon of vanilla ice cream. It will dissolve on it's own
and mix with the liquids creating almost a foamy top.

It was soooo good - tasted like a creamsicle!! I found the recipe googling
for a simple punch recipe and this was easy and went over very well!

I don't think you can mess up too badly - I was at a halloween party where
they kept improvising Spooky Punch with different sherberts, boozes, sodas
and juices and everything they did tasted good!

ginger ale, pineapple juice, and lime sherbert makes a great punch! you
can add alcohol to taste (rum is good, meyers dark is my fave)

We use this punch for holidays, it can be made with or without alcohol.

1 (48 ounce) bottle cran-raspberry juice
1 (12 ounce) can frozen pineapple/orangejuice concentrate or just use
pineapple, thawed
1 (1 liter) gingerale, chilled
1 (750) ml bottle champange, chilled

Mix the fruit juices and refrigerate until ready to serve. Just before
service, in a large punch bowl add the gingerale and champange.
I always make a fruit juice ice ring to keep the punch cold and the
juice ice ring doesn't dilute the punch.

Here is another one that is good:

1 (46 ounce) can unsweet pineapple juice
1 (46 ounce) can apricot nectar
3 (6 ounce) cans frozen lemonade, thawed
40 ounces gingerale, chilled
1 bottle champange, chilled

Combine first three ingredients and chill until ready to serve. Just
before serving, add gingerale and champange.

Or one mo

Bahama Mama's

2 quarts orange juice
1 quart pineapple juice
2-3 cans guava nectar (the small ones)
2-3 cans papaya juice (the small cans)
2-3 cans mango juice (the small ones)
White coconut rum to taste
A few splashes of grenadine for a little color

Mix all and refrigerate until ready to serve.
The small cans of tropical juices are sold in the Mexican section of
the grocery store. Jan

Did not see the original post, but this "Christmas Punch" is really
just an elegant, mildly alcoholic punch:

@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format

Christmas Punch

beverages

1 6 oz. can lemon juice, frozen; undiluted
1 6 oz. can frozen orange juice concentrate; uncooked, unpeeled
1 cup sugar

3 egg white; optional
1 3/4 qt. daiquiri cocktail; chilled
1 1 pt., 12 oz club soda; chilled
1 4/5 qt. champagne; chilled
1 tray ice cubes

In a bowl, combine concentrate, sugar and bitters. When juices are
thawed,
stir until they are well blended and sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate
until

Just before serving, beat egg whites until stiff. In punch bowl,
combine
fruit juice mixture, daiquiri cocktail and club soda. With wire whisk,
gently whip in egg whites. Add ice cubes. Pour champagne into punch at
table.
