Excellent punch. Made this last year for our annual Halloween Party. Served it in a large black cauldron and told the kid's it was "witch's pee". I made a double batch and only had about a quart left over. Will make again this Halloween. Thanks for sharing.

First time making a punch. Little too sweet for me, I think I'd cut back on the pineapple juice and add some more OJ and lessen the sugar some.

This was easy and delicious! I didn't want a bubbly punch for my brunch so I gave this one a try. Wow! From my son to my husband's grandparents, everyone loved it. I made a half batch and it was all gone! Delicious.

A wonderful refreshing punch. Prepare the concentrate weeks ahead and freeze.

Thank you Tara Laine Hoffman for this wonderful punch recipe. I made this for my Christmas party this past Friday, and it was wonderful. I scaled the recipe for 40 people. My punch bowl wasn't large enough to hold that amount of punch, so I mixed what I could and the punch still turned out perfectly. I only got to drink one cup while others were scavenging to find more. I was asked to make more but I only bought enough for one round. Anyway I now have to pass out the recipe, and have enough for next time. Five stars all the way! ! ! !

Confronted with the task of making some punch for a wedding reception,I looked to allrecipe.com to see if I'd find something appropriate. The name caught my eye then the simple ingrediants seemed like they would blend well together. I made a batch a week early to taste- thats when I knew it was gonna work. I decided to "doctor it up" by replacing the O.J. with Minute Maid Blends orange passion concentrate. I used a little less lemon juice about 1 1/4 cup per gallon of water and I also added a fruit blend from Trader Joes (mango,guava,passion fruit,orange ect.) a little extra sugar to compensate for the melting ice. It was great

Not what I expected. I followed the recipe to a T. I am not sure why my guests did not gobble it up. Maybe they had to many drink selections. It tasted very "pineappley".

This was a big hit at a meeting. EVERYONE wanted more when it was gone. The only change that I made, I made it four times over and only added 3 gallons of water and extra sugar, I added alot of ice and that made up for the extra gallon of water. Will be making this again. Thanks

I served this wonderful punch at a birthday party for my 80 year old mother. It was delightful. I added some additional ingredients. I scaled the recipe up for 100 people, and added two 1 liter bottles of Gingerale. Also, to top this off I added softened lemon sherbert to float on the top. The rich golden color is just perfect for the fall and made a lovely addition to the table.

I made this most wonderful punch for our daughter's wedding. It doesn't leave the mouth sticky like most punch, instead, it's quite refreshing. I received many compliments on the flavor and even the color. I'd like to pass on something I did. I wanted an ice ring. I filled my mold to about a 1/3 of it's capacity, then put it in the freezer. At the same time, I took fresh strawberries,(washed and hulled) and frozen them on a plate lined with waxed paper. I also filled a container with punch and froze it to the consistancy of slush. When the mold was frozen, I added the strawberries and the "slush" to fill the mold and returned it to the freezer. It really looked pretty. I also placed the remaining frozen strawberries in the punch to help keep it cold. Her wedding was Valentine's day and the strawberries in the punch was a colorful touch. One mistake I made...I didn't make enough. I trippled the punch and it still wasn't enough. Many liked the punch much better than the wonderful champaign we had. Ellie Russell, Jacksonville, FL
