Great punch recipe! I substituted regular gingerale for the raspberry gingerale because they don't sell it at any of the stores where I live. The punch was a great success and I didn't have ANY leftovers and I got a TON of great commnets on it! Thanks for the recipe!!

This was so good. I was a bit afraid after some of the reviewers said that there was too much of a coconut taste....but it was gone and everyone wanted the recipe. Thanks so much for posting.

Very well received punch I made for a Baby Shower! I froze two zip lock bags with mix the night before as suggested by another reviewer. Froze bags on side so blocks were long, wide and thinner as opposed to a thick block. Took mix out 2 hours before shower and it turned into a perfect slush/sludge. Added 3 liters (not 2) of Gigerale and Rasberry Soda and mixed to right consistency. Couldn't find Rasberry Gingerale, but Walmarts had Gingerale and Rasberry soda (mixed about 1/4-1/3 Rasberry to Gingerale). I made a Cranberry-Rasberry ice ring. Colors were beautiful, mix was delicous! Thanks for this recipe.

Very yummy! I replaced the ginger ale with grapefruit soda and did take it out of the freezer a little earlier than suggested. Highly recommended!

This punch was simple to make.. and it tasted great!! I was afraid the pina coloda mix would be over-powering as some reviews said it would be, but it really wasn't. I did freeze in ziploc bags..and I took it out 1.5 hours before the guests arrived and it still took longer than that to melt into slush.. I will definately make again though!!! I had a lot of good comments on it!

This pucnch is truly great. I should have doubled the receipe because everyone at my party loved it and it was gone. If you can't find raspberry ginger ale just use Cherry 7-Up it was fabulous!

This was a big hit at a bridal shower. Got lots of compliments. It is very different than your usual party punch, but it is really good. Make sure to take the frozen mixture out of the freezer at least 1 1/2 hours before.

Made this for my daughter's ballerina birthday party and no one drank it. :o( The Pina Colada was too strong and disagreed with many people. It is a wonderful pink color, though, which was why I tried it. And the slushy texture was a treat. I stored the frozen mixture in freezer baggies overnight and they didn't freeze solid, so they only needed to be removed 1 hour before hand. I might try it again in the future, but cut back on the Pina Colada mix a LOT and add some raspberry pop along with the raspberry ginger ale.

I made this for my daughter's 2nd birthday party. It made such a HUGE amount of punch, that I (jokingly) banned anyone from drinking any soda or tea until the punch was gone! Well, that was NO problem, because it was so good that the punch was gone within a few hours and the other drinks remained untouched. My husband hates pina coloda, but he loved this punch as much as everyone else. I can't say enough about this recipe!

I made this punch for a baby shower 3/15/03 and it was wonderful! I could not find the raspberry gingerale so just used gingerale and it was fine. I took another reviewers suggestion and froze the mixture in a bunt pan and that worked out just great. I also used another suggestion and froze some of the mixture in the plastic cranberry juice bottle and would not do that again. It was way to hard to get out of the bottle--we had to get a sharp knife and cut the top part of the bottle off. The color of the punch was a perfect raspberry pink and the flavor was just right. I took the frozen mixture out of the freezer 2 hrs. before serving and it was a perfect slushy drink. Everyone loved it. I will definetly be using this recipe again!

This punch was very good! I served it at a company birthday party. I got a lot of compliments on it and not one complaint. And people did ask for the recipe. It's like a slushy, which was a pleasant surprise. You do need to bring out the frozen mixture at least 1 1/2 hours before hand. I couldn't find raspberry ginger ale so I substituted 2-2liters of regular ginger ale and a quarter of a 2liter bottle of strawberry soda. I kept the frozen mixture the same measurements and it tasted fine. We just added more ginger ale if the taste was too strong. And we did taste it before the guests got a chance to! I plan to serve it again at a luau this summer! Also, it could be spiked with rum if you wanted.

As per other reviews, I cut back a bit on the pina colada mix and also used raspberry soda with the raspberry ginger ale. Took the slush out 1.5 hrs prior to serving. Thanks Mary Lynn.

Awesome is the only way to describe this punch!! I made this last night for a large group. It was the hit of the party. Everyone devoured it. Definitely agree with previous reviews that the pina colada mixture must be taken out of the freezer at least 2 hours before serving in order to break it up into slush.

The only thing that tops the way it looks in the punch bowl is the way it taste. Served at a baby shower and the pink color and taste were a hit. Making at Christmas as well it was so wonderful.
