Lost-in-the-Sun Punch

1 carton (64 ounces) orange juice, chilled
1 bottle (2 liters) lemonade, chilled
6 cans (12 ounces each) cream soda, chilled
1 pint pineapple sherbet

This is good! Trouvere, I know you didn't want anything with "soda" in it, but this is a good punch.

what kind of cream soda?

Mock Champagne Punch

1 quart white grape juice, chilled
1 quart ginger ale, chilled
Strawberries or raspberries

All the ladies in our church host a ladies party in their homes. A different home every month. Mine is coming up and I'm going to pull out my long stemmed glasses for this one! Strawberries will be my choice.

Yes, it is sooooo pretty. I usually put only one whole strawberry in a long stem glass, but slices can look nice.

Well, that's all I have for now. Guess I better get some shut eye! Good night!

I usually buy white grape juice or cran grape and diet sprite and make
summer drinks.My daughters love it.

Fruit juice makes me hungry. I hardly ever drink it. Just a little OJ in the morning.

Good night. Love the thread! Great place to post our stuff for parties!

After reading a few non alcoholic mint julip recipes I came up with this one.It was awesome in fluted glasses with a nice mint sprig and lots of ice.
This is definately a chick drink.

1 1/2 cups sugar
1 frozen lemonade
1 frozen limade
1 cup of mint sprigs.
4 cups water
1 or 2 two liters of Ginger ale diet can be used.
crushed ice

heat sugar and water over low heat until hot and disolved.Do not boil.
Turn off and add 1/2 cup crushed mint.Stir in lemonade and limeade.
Stir well ,strain and set aside.If you are wanting to wait then refrigerate
until you use it.I would say only wait a day or so though as the mint
will not keep.
Fill glass 1/4 way with the syrup.3/4 of the way with ginger ale and stir.Finish it with crushed ice and a nice mint sprig in a fluted glass.Its gorgeous and totally good for your breath.Some of the recipes used cream de menthe syrup not the alcoholic type but it is said to taste like scope so skip it.This drink is a winner.Five of us had
it tonight and all loved it.I am going to have to make this again soon.
