Need a yummy punch for a baby shower

[Oregonmother]

Any suggestions?

I've got one that's non-alcoholic (so that the Mom-to-be can enjoy it) and sugar-free (in case any of the guests are either diabetic or otherwise avoiding sugar). Of course, if you want the full-sugar version, just make the appropriate substitutions:

Ingredients:
1 3-ounce package sugar-free cherry-flavored gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1 package sugar-free ruby red grapefruit mix and 8 cups cold water
1 12-ounce bottle diet ginger ale, chilled

Instructions:
Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Following the directions on the package, mix 8 cups of cold water with the appropriate amount of sugar-free ruby red grapefruit mix; add to the dissolved gelatin. Place two trays of ice cubes in a large punch bowl; pour punch over ice. Pour in diet ginger ale.

Try just a simple mixture of juice and seltzer water (or 7up), and float whole frozen strawberries in it - pretty!!

I have done the following in a big jar. I get lots of compliments on it.

1/2 Decaf Sun Tea
1/2 Lemonade
add frozen lemon and lime slices

So easy, pretty and refreshing!

Another twist
Decaf Sun Tea
Frozen raspberries and or strawberries
Add mint leaves

There is always the "church punch" of Cranberry Gingerale, some type of canned juice and sherbert balls floating on top. Always a winner.

Enjoy! You have me thirsty now.

This is a friend's recipe but it is so good!!! We were all on a happy sugar high afterwards. :)

Hawaiian punch
Ginger ale
mixed frozen fruit (she bought the Wal-Mart kind)

Mis HP and ginger ale together. Throw in chopped frozen fruit. Can you say yum????

We were all fighting to drink the last of it. (hee hee)

[bcky2]

this is our punch that we do at every party :)

2 liter of strawberry soda
32 oz of juice of your choice (we like pineapple)
a couple of big scoops of sherbert-your choice of flavor

i am sure that if you wanted to you could change the flavor of soda to match the juice, like grape soda or orange soda.

we have also done one like this

orange drink(like tang)
ginger ale
orange sherbert

Yup, that's my fave too :) For a bit more of a sweet tooth I like this one but with lime (or any flavor) sherbet added :) Yumm!! The best is pineapple juice.
