OT: Punch question

Does anyone have a good punch recipe? I'm directing a wedding this weekend and taking care of the reception...I'm desperate for a good punch recipe....please help!!!!

I've tried LOTS of punch recipes...and used to direct/cater alot of weddings...here are my 2 favs:

1.  Raspberry Ginger Ale - Schwepps used to sell it, but it's sometimes hard to find, so I go with regular ginger ale, and mix equal parts of a raspberry cola (sams choice, red rock, etc).  Freeze it til it's slushy...you'll be surprised at how many people ask for the recipe.

2.  Koolaid (any flavor/color), mixed with a can of pineapple juice, then add Sprite as you serve it.  You can mix ahead and freeze some to a slush consistency too.

I've never been a fan of those sweet, syrupy, sherbert-type punches.   Esp with wedding cake!  I like something a little more tart.  Just my opinion,lol.

Thanks so much Lisa! These sound great!

Hi Nicole.  Depending on the color scheme there are lots of punch recipes.  My family favorite is the slush punch:
1 can pineapple juice
1 box strawberry jello made up
1 pack strawberry koolaid made
Mix all together and freeze until slushey.

We also make what we call Baptist Champaigne
it is just one bottle of white grape juice and 1 2 liter ginger ale.  Chill good and mix together in punch bowl.  This is used at weddings a lot because of the color.

Thanks Debbie! The only one that was coming to mind for me was the Baptist Champagne.... I'll definitely get these to the bride and let her decide

This may be more than you asked for......
