I served this at a baby shower, and everyone raved about it. I had to make copies of the recipe for everyone. Thanks for the winner! Shelley K Minneapolis, MN

I made this for my sister's wedding. It was a huge hit. I used cherry jello and added food coloring to get the right color. Everyone loved it. I portioned it into gallon bags for easier thawing and mixing.

WONDERFUL!!! I requested that this punch be made for my wedding by one of my mother-in-law's friends --- I was not disappointed!! We had over 200 guests in attendance at the reception and EVERYONE LOVED this punch. We still get compliments on it and asked for the recipe. We used a strawberry jello mix since my colors were color and yellow, but I think raspberry would have been just as delicious. This recipe is a must, I'll never use anything else.

I made this for my daughter's first birthday party. No one liked it, not even the kids. I ended up throwing it away and buying juice boxes at the last minute.

i made this for a babyshower and everyone loved it. most important, however, was the fact that it was super easy. i used frozen pineapple rings to make it pretty.

Unique and tasty punch. I made this for my sister's bridal shower and everyone complimented it. I did follow suggestions and halfed the sugar. I also used diet Sprite and sugar free jello instead of full sugar components. Still very sweet and fizzy. It did foam a bit when adding the diet Sprite, wasn't a problem but thought I'd mention it. I'll make this one a keeper in my recipe box!

No joke!!! I served this punch recently at a party for about 80 guest, the first 20 guest finished it before the others arrived. This is a real winner!

I used a version of this recipe for the punch for my daughter's April 5th wedding, and it was very successful! To make the color coordinate with a lavender/silver theme, I used 1 box of lemon jello and 2 boxes of pineapple. Combining tips from others who had tried it, I left out ALL the sugar and used 8 ounces of "Santa Cruz Organic 100% Lemon Juice Not From Concentrate" per recipe. I divided the punch into three, 1-gallon, bags to freeze it (about 7 1/2 cups per bag.) To serve, the punch was thawed for a couple of hours, and then each bag was combined with one 2-liter bottle of chilled ginger ale. When we needed to speed up the thawing process, we put the punch bowl in a hot water bath in the sink and broke up/stirred the punch base as it thawed. This was a little more expensive than some punches, but we needed a dairy-free punch, and this one worked well!

This was easy to make the night before and pull out the next day. Was a hit at the shower! The best punch I've made so far!

I made a version of this punch for a 70th birthday party, and it was a huge hit. Because my children don't like pineapple juice, we used strawberry/kiwi juice instead, and still included the lemon juice. We used sugar-free Jello (strawberry, black cherry, and raspberry) and Sprite Zero to keep the sugar content down, and cut the sugar down to between 2.5 and 3 cups. I divided the punch into 6 Ziploc bags, and froze for about 24 hours. The night before the party, I placed all the bags in the refrigerator, and they were the perfect consistency the next day. We used less soda than the recipe called for, just going by taste. It wasn't too sweet and it had a nice tang to it. Both kids and adults really enjoyed it - everyone who tried it had at least 2-3 servings. I would definitely make this again.

Served this at a baby shower and would definitely use again. I think I would use 4 freezer bags next time to make it easier to freeze. I did double bag the punch as some of them were leaking in the freezer. The lemon concentrate that I used was only 15 ounces but I used the same amount of sugar and water as the recipe called for and it was good.

I put the gelatin mix into several tupperware containers to freeze. I let it thaw for 2 hours and then put it in the punch bowl. This worked well and was less messy. I also used 3 cups sugar and less lemon juise as per the other reviews.

While it is true that this is not the easiest punch to make, it is very much worth the extra effort. I also got many raves and requests for the recipe at the shower I made this for. The best part was that the left over punch kept for a week in the fridge and even stayed bubbly, my kids were thrilled!

Everyone loved this punch at my Dad's 60th surprise party. I split each recipe into 3 gallon size freezer bags. About 3 hours before you plan on serving, put a bag in the fridge to start softening. Then, as you make a new batch pull another bag out of the freezer to start thawing on the counter. To help break up the chunks, use a potato masher.

This was a hit at a bridal shower I had, I did add fresh chopped strawberries. I got many compliments. After a few asked for the recipe I told them, they thought it was too much trouble, but for me this is the only punch I'm serving for my parties. By the way this is not for diabetics! Try working with sugar free jello as others have.

This is the best punch I've ever had. I served it at a baby shower using strawberry flavored jello...everyone wanted the recipe. I'll definately be using this one again.
