I served this punch at my sister's baby shower today and it was a HUGE hit!! Everyone really enjoyed it and I went through 2 batches. I decreased the sugar, as previously suggested, and it was plenty sweet enough. Thanks for the awesome recipe!!

I have been making this punch for a few years, but lost the recipe. I put it into ice cream pails or large bowls to freeze. Then you can scoop it out as you need it (for times when a punch bowl is not practical...picnics, boating, etc.) I also use flavored vodka for a kick or Malibu instead of rum. Experimenting is half the fun!

I made this punch for my baby shower at work. There wasn't a drop left! I really liked this recipe and found it easy to prepare a day prior to the event. You can also change the flavors of the jello and sodas if you want to try something a little different. I used orange jello and 7-UP as one of my flavor punches and it turned out yummy. My advice is to take the frozen slush out of the freezer and onto the counter an hour or so (depending how warm it is) ahead of time. It'll also be easier to take them out of the ziplock bags if you let them defrost a little in room temperature. Pour room temperature soda over the frozen slush to help it melt a little too. Don't worry, the drink will be cooled!

I have made this punch several times. At times I have a little problem with it getting slushy. But it is so good there is NEVER any left. I have even made popsicles out of some for my grandchildren. I have made it both with ginger ale and lemon-lime. It goes just the same. I have poured it in a bunt cake pan to feeze so I had a pretty ring. Try this recipe. Katherine

Just OK for me, it seemed very similar to fruit punch mixed with fruit juice and soda. Not horrible but nothing special either, Sorry.

This tastes great and is great to keep in my freezer for when I need it. It makes a lot so I have 4 bags of the frozen mixture. Definitely read other reviews about when to start thawing (about 2 hrs ahead) so you don't have to chop it apart. Yum!

I served this punch at our church Christmas dinner and it was very well received. It was easy to do the day before and I froze it until it was just slushy. Not frozen solid. It was easy to pour into punch bowls and to break into little slushy balls. The next time I will cut back on the water just a little. Great recipe that will be the annual Christmas Punch!

This was so good. I made it for several children's Christmas Parties. Parents and children commented how good the punch was and wanted more. It makes a lot of punch but you can freeze and use another time.

The taste was fantastic, but the parts of the slush froze solid and did not melt at all during the party. I would make this again, but will have to play around with freezing options.

This is similar to what I've always made, but you'll love it even more if you add 1oz of *pure almond extract.* It REALLY adds so much to the punch. And don't use imitation almond, get the good stuff! C:

I was looking for something to take a friend who had her wisdom teeth out. This fit the bill. I decreased the recipe to serve 44, so I could use the large box of Jello I had (6 oz.) I didn't have enough pineapple juice, so I just used one large can plus 4 cups of water. It was plenty sweet. I froze some of the mixture in ice cube trays. It's a breeze to pop some in a cup and pour soda over for a single serving.

This was wonderful. I had lots of compliments on it. I made it for my husband's retirement party. The one thing to remember is to take it out of the freezer several hours before you put it in the punch bowl. Otherwise it will take forever for it to get slushy.

Yummy, yum, yum. I had served this at my party last week, and it was a big hit. I also loved how easy it was to mix up a new batch as it ran out, with just having the slushy ziplock bags in the fridge to add to the bowl and pour the ginger ale over. I also liked how it made so much, but was really easy on the budged. It had a delicious flavor and tasted a lot fancier than what it was, and looked really nice too. This recipe is definately a keeper.

I will be honest with you, this grossed me out a little bit. It was bright red, like a kiddie drink and tasted like Jello (which it was) rather than a fruity beverage. Not for the sophisticate.

This is fantastic! Everyone loved it! I kept out 2 cups of the mixture and just refrigerated so that even the first servings would be flavorful before the slush started to really melt. I also used sprite. I tried a second batch with Black Cherry Jello and it wasn't nearly as good as regular Cherry.
