Holiday Punch for Office party

[CouponCutter]

Anyone have any good non alcoholic punch recipes? I'm in charge of drinks and cups so rather than the standard soda and juice I wanted to try something different. Any suggestions?? TIA!

1 box lime sorbet (any other flavor would work as well)
1 gallon OJ
1 2 liter sprite/7up/squirt

*garnish with frozen berries, orange slices, etc.
* I have used this recipe several times and it is ALWAYS a hit.

Try cranberry juice and OJ combo....it really tastes great and easy to do. You can add champagne if you want. My sister made this (without the alcohol) for a baby shower and it was wonderful!

When I lived in France, we used to make virgin cocktails for the kids.

First, you pour some grenadine syrup into a small plate, and some white sugar onto another small plate. Dip the rim of your glasses into the grenadine and then into the sugar. It'll look like a margarita glass.

Then, we'd mix orange juice and pineapple juice (or some other tropical juices) and pour that into the glasses.

Then you pour just a tiny bit of grenadine into the glass without stirring it. It will give the bottom of the drink a reddish tinge so you have a two-toned drink.

Combine first 2 steps; add 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1 can pineapple juice. Freeze!


1 hour before serving take out of freezer and add 2 bottles of ginger ale. Mix and Serve.
Serves approx. 100 people.

This can also be made with splenda and sugar free jello and ginger ale.

My recipe for punch is very similar to this, just a tad different

1 1/2 gallon rainbow sherbet (instead of lime)
1 can pineapple juice (instead of OJ)
1 2 liter of gingerale (instead of sprite)

Just keep adding rainbow sherbet a little at a time instead of ice. If you need more just add equal preportions of each ingredient. You can't mess this up. It's wonderful.

Another idea I saw but have never tried...

Using a fluted round cake pan- fill with water and holly leaves and berries. Put it in the freezer. Dump it into a punch bowl for the ice. This would go well with the OJ and cranberry juice punch. Plus there is no cost, Free is always good to me.

This is the exact reciepe we make for the holidays, only on a much smaller scale. My cousin's little girl nicknamed it Christmas Water...lol
