So I'm going to a potluck for Easter, and I'm supposed to bring something to drink. Since I like cooking, I thought I'd just make some punch at home, and I was wondering if any of you people had some ideas?

Alcoholic or non-alcoholic?

Well, either, though preferably non-alcoholic.

Suave

Ball your hand into a tight fist, index and middle knuckles forming the forefront. Pull back...

Okay, I don't have the exact recipe on me, but it goes something like this (it's my Aunt's):
2-3 cans pink lemonade concentrate
4-6 litres gingerale (either gingerale or 7-UP. I say gingerale but not positive)
ice cubes

That's pretty much it. I don't think she has any "secret" ingredient or anything.

It's a little bridal showerish,but for the above punch, instead of ice cubes, take a jello mold, or a pie tin and fill it with pink lemonade - or regular lemonade if you are anti puke bridal shower pink - slice up some strawberries and put it in the pie tin... and freeze it -- that becomes the ice for the punch.

-------------
Fruit punch
3 qt. orange juice
2 qt. pineapple juice
2 liters Sprite
juice from 10 oz. jar maraschino cherries
4 cups ice cubes
1 med. orange - sliced
1 med. lemon - sliced
1 med. lime - sliced


-Combine juices, soda, and grenadine in a punch bowl.
-Add ice.
-float fruit on top

Sherbert Punch:

Rasberry sherbert (1 container) (you can use orange sherbet too)
1 and 1/2 of the (2 liter) bottles of 7-Up soda

Let the sherbet half way melt . . . and mix in a large bowl
It's refreshing and tasty.

It's easy, delicious and i've made it several times and had requests for the 'difficult recipe' every time It's so simple, it looks fancy
