This is by far the best punch I have ever tasted. I served it recently at a graduation party and this punch was the hit! I took some other reviewers advice and it came out absolutely perfect! Here's my version: I used 2 packages of raspberry gelatin and only 1 cup of sugar as other readers suggested. I boiled it with the water and immediately added the orange, pineapple and lemon juice. I let this cool for about 1/2 hour and then poured the mixture into 2 1-gallon zip lock bags. I double bagged them and let them cool to room temp. I froze them over night. The next day, they were not completely frozen, but I took them out exactly 2 hours before the party and let them thaw. As soon as the party started I added one 2-liter bottle of ginger ale to 1 bag of juice and the mixture was perfect! Slushy juice that stayed cold the entire time!! And the taste was amazing!! This will be my go to punch from now on! Heather

Definitely the talk of the party! I made these the morning of my daughter's graduation party and they were gone within a few minutes after I put them out. Every single person asked for more! I took some advice from other reviewers and they came out perfect! I cut the bacon in 1/3's and wrapped each smokie and put a toothpick in the seam. I placed them on a baking sheet and then sprinkled brown sugar generously over all of them. I baked them for about 15 minutes and they didn't appear to be cooking fast enough, so I broiled them about 15 minutes and they came out perfect! I will definitely be making these at all my parties!! Thank you! Heather in Florida

This punch is the best! I made this punch this weekend for my daughter's graduation party. After reading all of the reviews, I was hoping that my guests would be just as pleased. Every single person commented on this punch and wanted to know what was in it. I followed the recipe and made a few adjustmens that other reviewers made and it came out PERFECT! I used raspberry gelatin and used only 1 cup of sugar. After boiling the gelatin, water and sugar, I added the juices and let it cool to room temp. Then I poured the mixture into 2 1-gallon ziplock bags and again let it sit to cool a little more. I froze the bags overnight and although they still weren't rock hard by my party, I took them out exactly 2 hours before the party. I poured in 1 2-liter bottle of gingerale for 1 bag of mixture and the consistency was perfect! It was a juice/slushy mixture and kept cold for the whole time. And the sweetness was just enough, not too sweet so 1 cup of sugar was sufficient. Anymore than 1 cup would have been too sweet. Thanks for a wonderful recipe! This will be my go to punch recipe from now on!!!
