• 1 qt. orange sherbet

Mix citrus punch and 7-Up in punch bowl with some ice and add sherbet to float on top. You can make ice cubes from 7-Up or citrus punch the day before so as not to water down punch.

HAWAIIAN PUNCH

• 1 qt. pale dry ginger ale
• 1 qt. 7-Up
• 1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen strawberries, broken up
• 2 tbsp. lemon juice
• Orange slices

Pour 1 can Hawaiian Punch, dry ginger ale, 7-Up and lemon juice in punch bowl. Add broken up frozen strawberries. Add ice ring and float orange slices on top.

CHAMPAGNE PUNCH

• 1 (12 oz.) can frozen fruit punch, partially thawed
• 1 (10 oz.) frozen strawberries
• 2/3 c. orange juice
• 2 tbsp. lemon juice
• 2 (12 oz.) bottles chilled ginger ale
• 1 qt. champagne

In a large punch bowl combine fruit punch, 3 cups water, strawberries, orange and lemon juices, stir to dissolve punch. Slowly pour in ginger ale and champagne. Makes 25 – 4 oz. servings. Make frozen ice ring and place in punch bowl.

• 1 qt. cranberry juice
• 1 qt. unsweetened pineapple juice 
• 6 cloves 
• 1 stick ( 3 inch) cinnamon 
• 1/4 tsp allspice 
• 1/2 cup brown sugar 

  
Combine all ingredients in a 3 qt glass container suitable for use in a microwave.  Cover and heat for around 17 minutes, until mixture is bubbly.  Pour hot punch into mugs for serving.  Refrigerate left over and reheat as desired.  Makes 2 1/2 quarts.

Note:  This punch is healthier if you make your own cranberry juice and pineapple juice.  When choosing your cranberries, look for ones that are bright red in color, hard, and plump. The cranberries will keep up to two months refrigerated, or you can seal them in plastic bags or a container and freeze them for up to one year! When selecting fresh pineapple, opt for those that feel slightly soft to touch, are heavy for their size and do not contain any bruising or brown spots. Its plume of spiky green leaves should be fresh in appearance, not tired and withered looking, and its aroma should be sweetly aromatic. Whole, very fresh pineapple can be stored at cool room temperature, if eaten within 1 or 2 days. If you plan to eat it over a longer period of time, store it in the fridge in a perforated plastic bag for up to 5 days.
