TIA, Barb. > Here's one of my favorites (and it's very easy, too), along with another one that looks fairly similar. It should also be quite good. Nancy's Party Punch 2 quarts ginger ale 1 12-oz can frozen lamonade concentrate, thawed 2 cups water 2 cups cranberry juice. Water for ice cube Well before serving time, freeze water in a large Cool Whip or Similar container to make a large ice cube. (I sometimes use a pretty-shaped mold.) Just before serving, mix together ginger ale, lemonade, 2 cups water, and cranberry juice in a large punch bowl. Float ice cube in center. Strawberry Punch 1 lg can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed 1 46-oz can pineapple juice 1 64-oz bottle cranberry juice cocktail 2 qt ginger ale 1 20-oz pkg. frozen strawberries (keep frozen) Mix all ingredients together. Makes 30-40 servings.

It depends on your crowd size of how many frozen ices are needed and how many liter bottles are needed. You just place the frozen ice inside a punch bowl and pour the ginger ale over the frozen ice. The frozen ice usually have slices of lemon in them. So, after melting, you will have the lemon slices floating inside the punch as well. You continue to add more ginger ale when needed. I always see lime (green color ice) and fruit (wine color ice) flavors. This punch is always tasty and goes very quickly. I usually buy one frozen ice and eight 3 liter bottles of ginger ale for a crowd under 20 people. Most of the time I end up with a few liters left-over.
