Today I am sharing my favorite party punch recipe! I got this punch from my mom and we use this at about every shower and party we host. It is so good and easy to make.

1 small {3 oz.} package of strawberry Jell-O

4 cups of water

1 1/2 cups of sugar

1 can of frozen lemonade {I use pink Minute Maid}

1 large can {46 oz} of pineapple juice

2 liters of ginger ale

1. At least 24 hours before the event you will need to prepare the punch. Dissolve jello and sugar into water. If you use hot water it dissolves faster. Add lemonade, pineapple juice, and mix well. Pour into a deep container and freeze overnight.

2. The day of the event, take punch out of freezer and let it defrost a little. I usually give it an hour. Scoop out of your container and put it into your punch bowl. My bowl is large so I scoop out the entire container and then add 1 liter of ginger ale over the top.

We absolutely love this punch and it always goes quickly. We make about 2 to 4 containers depending on how many guests we have. I hope you enjoy! Let me know if you try it! :)

Today I’m sharing a recipe that I used at our Fourth of July get-together.

I love making this drink for large family gatherings because it is super simple, easy to make and serves many.

About 40 (maybe more)

10 minutes

3 8lb. bags of ice (we like to use Braums or Sonic ice)

2 cups of Lipton Instant Iced Tea (un-sweet)

7 cups of sugar

1 frozen pink lemonade

3 lemons sliced (not squeezed)

3 oranges sliced (not squeezed)

2 gallons of water

First, add your 3 bags of ice to your ice-chest. I like to use the smaller rounded ice you get from Braums or Sonic because it doesn’t melt as fast.

Mix two cups of Lipton Instant Tea with one gallon of water in a bowl. When both are mixed together thoroughly, dump into ice-chest.

Next, bring the other gallon of water to a boil and add it to the 7 cups of sugar. Mix well until all is dissolved and then add to the ice-chest.

Add your frozen lemonade (mine wasn’t so frozen after making it home from the grocery store) directly into the ice chest.

Mix everything together thoroughly.

Slice oranges and lemons and add to the ice chest.

Mix well and the tea is ready to serve!

If you are not a big sweet fan then this won’t be your drink of choice but it is something easy to bring and is usually a hit! I love to change it up a bit and add something different to a family cookout.

Enjoy!
