I made this recipe for Halloween and people didn't really come back for seconds. It was okay. I probably won't make this one again.

Made this for my 4 yr old's Halloween party. It was a hit! I only used 1 can of OJ & omitted the sugar. I thought it tasted great & had a perfect witch's brew color! Thanks for the great recipe!

THIS WAS EXCELLENT. I ALSO ADDED A CAN OF LEMONDADE AND THEN 3 MORE CANS OF WATER BESIDES WHAT IT CALLED BECAUSE OF THE ADDED LEMONADE. I TOO CUT THE SUGAR IN HALF AS ONE OTHER PERSON SAID AND I LIKED THAT ALOT. I ADDED THE SUGAR THE SAME TIME AS THE JELLO IN THE HOT WATER TO TOTALLY GET IT DISSOLVED. I PUT DRIED ICE IN IT FOR HALLOWEEN AND IT WAS A HIT!!!!

Way too sugary! I must admit i modified the recipe quite a bit, but i still found this to be too sweet. I used a whole can of pineapple juice, 1 can of frozen OJ, 2 packets of lime jello as advised, and 2 liters of lime flavored seltzer water (no sugar) instead of gingerale in order to give it some fizz. For someone not used to eating/drinking a lot of sugary items, it was just completely overwhelming. Three stars though because it was a *great* color for halloween and a lot of fun :)

I just hosted a Halloween party and this was such a hit!! It will be made for many parties to come! I altered the recipe a bit because we don't like sweet drinks, and doubled the recipe to make 40 cups (and added a handle of adult beverage). We used 4 packages of lime flavored gelatin, 2 cans of pineapple juice, 2 cans of frozen orange juice concentrate, 2 liters of ginger ale, water as suggested, and no sugar. Awesome!

Its turns out to be a perfect green color if you use limeade instead of OJ. I served this at my work's Halloween potluck with dry ice. It looked awesome with the dry ice. It tasted pretty good too. I didn't add the sugar and it was still sweet enough.

Nice green color for Halloween. Tasted pretty good too. Froze an ice ring with gummy eyeballs in it so there were eyeballs floating in the punch bowl. The kids loved that. Will definitely make this again.

I told our guests that this was Melted Witch! I halved the recipe and used a full 12 ounce can of pineapple juice concentrate instead of the prepared pineapple juice. Because of the extra pineapple concentrate, I left out the sugar and ended up adding about 2 cups extra ginger ale. We all really liked this punch and I plan to make it again, but will probably make it with the amount of pineapple juice in the recipe, still leaving out the sugar. And like some others said, straining the pineapple juice through a fine mesh strainer and using pulp free OJ is important if you want a smooth texture.

I made this last year for my son's "Under the Sea" themed birthday party, everyone loved it! I made an ice ring with gummy turtles that added a special touch to it. This year I am making it again for his Dinosaur themed party and we are calling it "Swamp Water". I know it will be a hit again this year!

This was AWESOME - I made it for a St. Patrick's day party, and ended up having to e-mail the recipe to everyone. I only used a 1/2 cup of sugar and it was perfectly sweet. The green color was great!!!

I absolutelty loved this punch!! I made it for St. Pat's and was such a big hit, no one touched the soda I had displayed next to it! I did follow the advise from alot of the other reviews to not add the sugar though, which is why I'm giving it a 4. It really doesn't need any extra sweetness!! I also used Sprite instead of the gingerale. Can't what to make it again for Halloween! Thanks.

I made this for a St. Patty's Day luncheon at work and I was not disappointed! This was very well received by my coworkers and very refreshing. I did not use the 2 cups of sugar and cannot imagine the recipe with it. It would be too much! In fact, if I made again, I would use sugar free jello and diet ginger ale to save some sugar. Overall, great recipe. Thanks!

This was very tasty. I used only 1 cup of sugar and am glad I did. Even using diet soda it was still right on the verge of being too sweet!
