Thanks for all the great ideas. Here's one I'm going to try:
12 oz. frozen limeade (whatever size the can is)
24 oz. pineapple juice (not frozen, a big chunky can)
2 qt Swiss creme soda (2 liters works just as well)
What our PTO uses for all big events is an orange sherbet punch. Simple...1 gallon of fruit punch juice, 1- 2L. 7-Up, and some scoops of orange sherbet to keep it cold.
The formula to use is always one gallon punch to one 2 liter pop. If you put lots of sherbet in at the start the punch stays cold for a while. It is yummy and everyone always wants more
My idea: Mix 4 bottles of gingerale and the rest a mixture of various 2 liter bottles of fruit flavors (generic brand sodas) all to equal 6 gallons. 1 liter = roughly 1 quart so 12 bottles needed.
Go to the store Wal-Mart & Kmart have the bottle of concentrate punch. Mix with water.
Cost $4.99 Dilute it well because it's so sweet. You will usually find it down the aisle where the
big jars of pickles, mayo, etc., down the aisle with the big stuff.
