This is a great punch ***IF*** you cut back on, or cut out the sugar. I made this for two different parties this last weekend. First one I made as written but used only one cup sugar per some of the review. It was way too sweet and I couldn't fathom ever using two cups! People liked it and none was left but again, not for me. For the second party I made per the recipe and left out all the sugar and it was fantastic! I would have given this recipe 5 stars if it didn't call for the sugar. In each batch I used about 1 and 1/2 bottles of rum.

Very yummy! Kids and parents finished it in no time at a St. Patrick's Day party. Between the pineapple juice and the oj concentrate, 2 cups of sugar sounded way too sweet. I decided to omit the sugar altogether and add it if necessary and there was no need. Without sugar, it was refreshing and fizzy! Will def make again.

This was delicious. I did cut the sugar a bit and renamed it Grinch Punch for our holiday party. Everyone wanted the recipe. Yum yum.

I made this for a baby shower and it was a hit. It's very sweet and could probably be "cut" with more ginger ale.

I thought this was pretty good but sweet. My kids (teenagers) didnt really care for it.

I made this for our grown-up halloween party and it was a big hit! I forgot to add the sugar and added sprite instead of ginger ale. Still turned out great! This will be on the menu next year!

I made this for wedding shower and omitted extra sugar, water, and only used one liter of ginger ale (due to size of punch bowl) and it came out wonderful!!! Crowd pleaser!

I went to a friends house for a hallween party. They happened to have used this recipe although they used limeade instead of orange juice so that it would look much greener.Everyone loved it and it was gone in no time.
