This was a huge hit at Thanksgiving! Even the adults - bottle of rum stashed up high - loved it. We left it out all day in a punchbowl and it stayed slurpie consistency for the entire party. I'm going to make it again this weekend for my sons birthday party. Just for kicks, I'm gonna make it with pineapple jello - get it? yellow slush? What a hoot! Thanks for the great recipe!

Made this for my twin daughters 5th birthday party. It was quite a hit. The adults and kids alike loved it. It's easy to make and to throw together when you're ready to party. I took the advice of another reviewer and divided it into several smaller containers and that was much easier to handle than 2 big solid blocks of frozen punch. Really good--will hold on to this recipe for other parties!

We really liked this - I used it as a base for my New Year's party and let people add alcohol to it...I had vodka, rum and champagane avaialable and most people chose the champagane...it was perfect! DEFINITELY use only half the sugar!

I love this punch! Very easy to do, and everyone begged for a copy of the recipe. Definitely will prepare again.

This is the first time I made punch. People raved about it. Have it without alcohol so kids can have it and with vodka on the side for whom likes a bit of liquor in their drink. It's the first one to go. Next time I'm buying more ginger ale. And probably put it in smaller container so it will be even easier. Thanks for the great recipe.

This was great! 15 people went through the entire huge batch on Christmas Eve. I used Raspberry and Peach jello and only 2 bottles of ginger ale.

This was ok. I followed the recipe and used orange Jello, but we all thought it had too much pineapple taste. Not nearly as good as I expected.

I used cherry jello & 2c sugar. It did make ALOT, but it was awesome. I will make this again.

You know with this many awesome reviews you have to try it! We served this at my wedding reception and it was a huge hit (we used only 2c sugar as most others have mentioned 4c would be way to sweet for most people). I'm making it again for New Year's Eve because it is a great non-alcoholic alternative (but can also be spiked if desired :-) This is also very economical for a large group and really is not that much work...so long as you can follow simple instructions and the advice of other reviews! Garnish with lemons, limes, and strawberries for eye appeal :0)

Made this for Thanksgiving dinner, and I think everyone mentioned how good it was. I used a combo of red jellos from my cupboard. Grocery store was almost out of gingerale, so I had some gingerale and some lemon-lime. Both are great. I froze it into 3 servings each in a gallon bag. Let it thaw out for a bit, then add the soda. I went through every drop of it for about 20 people, but there was plenty for refills with 20 people: Everyone kept going back, and back, and back! Great recipe, easy, and can be made ahead!

This was a good tasting punch. I made 2 batches, one lime and one strawberry. They were both good. The punch was difficult to prepare. I had frozen the mixture in gallon size zipper bags. The frozen mixture was too big for the bowl and hard to break apart. If I make this again, I will use quart size bags.

Awesome punch...everyone loved, especially the kids at the bridal shower! I'd also say to only put 1/2 the amount of sugar in, the pineapple juice and pop make it sweet enough. But other than that delicious!

This was a huge hit at my mother-in-laws 80th birthday party. I had a lot left so I left it for our church to use and it was a hit there as well. Anyone looking for a party punch recipe to wow a crowd should try this one. Thanks for sharing this recipe!!

This is the best punch, hands down. Delicious, I can't say enough. I put it in 3 gallon size freezer bags. I serve a whole bottle of ginger ale with each bag. When the bags freeze on their sides, it freezes the punch thinner than a container, so it's not so hard to break up the mass. SO DELICIOUS!

Everyone loved it at my son's first birthday party! Only gripe is I wish I would have halved the recipe because the recipe makes 2 punch bowls full and we only needed 1.

AWESOME PUNCH!!! This turned out amazing, and I didn't change a thing, I left the sugar in and it was the right sweetness. People couldn't stop raving about it at my thanksgiving dinner. I cut the recipe in half and it serves 16 guests perfectly, had plenty left for seconds and thirds even for those who wanted it.

I have to tell you I was a little skeptical about a Jello punch, but, given all the raving reviews I decided to try it. I made it for my daughter- in- laws baby shower and it was just a good as everyone said it was. I did take others advice and cut the sugar down to 2 cups. I might even cut it to 1 next time. It was really good. Be sure to take it out in plenty of time or it will be too frozen. I would recommend about 21/2 hour before going to serve. It was not a hassle at all. I scooped the mixture out of the large pot with my 4 cup measuring cup and had my husband hold ziplock baggies to fill. You can warm the frozen mixture up in warm water if necessary for breaking up to put into a bowl. Got great reviews from guests.
