Mmmmmm...so yummy! I ended up combining all ingredients with only one bottle of sprite, and I have to say it was a very fortunate mistake! Ultra slushy, wonderful on a hot afternoon for a July birthday party. Pretty sure i'll be making it this way again! Next time i'll make two batches, because this went so quickly and was complimented by all. Wonderful recipe, nice alternative to the sherbet recipe punch (which i've never really liked!).

This punch was delicious!! I made it for a retirement reception for my co worker and everyone loved it! The only changes I made~I used raspberry jello instead of strawberry and sierra mist cranberry splash in place of the lemon-lime soda. Wonderful and easy to make!!

I made this punch for a baby shower for the first time. I did cut back the sugar to 2 cups. Mixed with ginger ale. There wasn't a drop left. Very good punch!

I've made this punch for several occasions now and it is always a hit. I also freeze in smaller batches and thaw well in advance so that it melts more evenly. Even when I don't get the timing just right (and it's completely melted or still too slushy), the punch tastes great.

This punch was excellent! I made it for a bridal shower and everyone raved over it and asked for the recipe. The only recommendation I have is to let it thaw out for about 2 1/2 hour as opposed to 2 hours. I also added sliced strawberries and oranges to the punch.

I did not make any changes and this turned out beautifully! This was such a hit that I still have people asking for the recipe.

This tastes wonderful! However, we had quite a bit left - and we had a pretty big party. I suggest making half if you are having 10-15 people.

UPDATED!!!! OK, I have looked at MANY punch recipes for a baby shower I am having this coming weekend. I think I have decided to try this one out. I think I might try to make it blue though, since it's for a baby boy. I read many of the reviews saying any jello will work; cut the sugar in half; use unsweetened pineapple juice; try gingerale ... I will let you know how it turns out! I am excited to try it out! Ok, so I made the punch with 1 (and not quite 1/2) a cup of sugar, used ginger ale and left everything else as is...like the recipe called for; with the exception of using blue jello. And it was GREAT! Everyone loved it, said it was so refreshing with the cake (balanced out the sweetness of the cake) and cleansed the palate! So I was thrilled with this punch and will definatly use it again!

Made this for my sister's bridal shower. Everyone loved it and was asking for the recipe! I also froze in ziploc bags which I placed inside a 2cup measuring cup to hold bags upright while I filled them. Can't wait for the summer party to make it again!

I dislike standard punch recipes. This, however, is really, really good. I did cut back on sugar as a lot of reviewers suggested. People love the taste and the look of the punch.

I cut the sugar down to 1 C. & it was very sweet. Also, followed others' directions to freeze it in gallon bags - this worked great. I used ginger ale & it gave a great flavor - it disappeared at the baby shower I made it for!

Delicious and refreshing! I served this for a baby shower and it was a huge hit! I used only 1 cup of sugar and found it to be sweet enough. It is difficult for one person to get the mixture into the large Ziplocs.

I made this for my daughters birthday party. It was a big hit. I may add a little more sugar next time, since our punch is usually pretty sweet. It was nice however not to get a sugar rush after just one small glass.

I made this for a bridal shower and everyone loved it. We had 17 people and there was only a little left over even though we offered several other drinks. I will definitely serve it again.

Here are some tips I hope you find useful...putting it into bags seemed too messy for 1 person, so instead I used the Ziploc reusable containers, since they are marked by the cup. That way, I could mix up half, then add the other half and know just how much mix to pop ratio. The mix makes exactly 17 cups. It also helps it freeze faster-I made it at 11AM, mixed it together at 6PM and it was perfect consistency. Also, I used raspberry and lime jello, full sugar, and make sure you use unsweetened pineapple juice, and it definitely is not too sweet-and I prefer tart over sweet! Very good punch, much better than adding sherbet.

This punch was great, I cut the sugar a little. I made a batch for the kids and one for the adults(by leaving out the soda, and adding 1/2 cup of Sloe Gin, and 3 cups of Vodka, I put it in the blender with a couple scoups of ice) Everyone loved the punch, and they are still calling me for the recipe...
