PARTY! PARTY!

We have a teacher at school who is due to have her first baby in about a month, so my grade level gave her a shower. I found this punch recipe online and another teacher made it.  It was very tasty!  If you'd rather not make the ginger ale ring, you don't have to.  When I've made punch in the past, I have thawed a container of frozen strawberries and left them to float around in the punch.  You could even put them in a blender if you'd like.  Whichever way you choose, you and your guests will enjoy this punch.

Mock Champagne Punch

2 (2 liter) bottles ginger ale, chilled
1 (46 fluid ounce) can pineapple juice, chilled
1 (64 fluid ounce) bottle white grape juice, chilled

Strawberries, if desired

Directions

To make the ice ring: Fill a ring-shaped cake pan to 1/3 with ginger ale.  Freeze until partially frozen. At this stage you can place pieces of fruit around the ring. Fill pan 1/3 more with ginger ale and freeze until solid. Remember that the ginger ale will expand.  Place in punch bowl just before serving.  In a large punch bowl, combine 1 bottle ginger ale, pineapple juice and white grape juice.

Lemon-Grape Party Punch

1 24 oz. bottle of chilled grape juice
1 28 oz. chilled lemon-lime soda
2 Tb. lemon juice
Lemon slices for garnish, if desired

Mix all ingredients together and stir.
