Tasty Tuesday: Incredible Pink Punch


It's Tasty Tuesday over at Balancing Beauty and Bedlam. Please visit Jen today to find more delicious meal ideas!

I plan on posting about my sister's bridal shower several times this week, and I figured that this is the perfect opportunity to share my recipe for Incredible Pink Punch. It's fabulous!

Don't go crazy now...this is a virgin punch! I've served it at birthday parties and it's always a hit.


Incredible Pink Punch
from allrecipes.com


Ingredients:

2- 46 oz. bottles cranberry raspberry juice (I bought cheap-0 Sam's Choice brand from Wal-Mart, and it turned out just fine!)

1-32 fl. oz. bottle pina colada mix (Pictured above)

2 liters raspberry ginger ale soda


Directions:

In a large plastic container, combine the cranberry-raspberry juice with the pina colada mix. (Note: I am never able to find bottles of cranberry-raspberry juice in 46 oz. I buy the 64 oz. size and just mix it to taste) It makes a cool psychedelic swirl effect when you mix it!


Freeze overnight. In fact, I'd make it the afternoon before to be sure it freezes all the way!

Remove mix from freezer 30 minutes prior to serving. Place frozen slush in punch bowl and slowly add raspberry ginger ale.


Enjoy!

I think the cranberry gives it a little kick, but it's still sweet. I've had many compliments on this one. It works well for birthday parties, showers, or other get togethers.

Mmm, that sounds perfect for a party! I know you posted the virgin version, but I'd prob have to "kick it up a notch" for a party at my house with some vodkie or rum, lol :)

Oh my goodness, this looks divine and makes me all of a sudden need a Sonic. :) Love your idea about the Design Dilemna~ I featured one on my blog today. I know a ton of people have them, and may not have the money for a consultation, so it should be popular!
