How to Make Party Punch

Add cherries to make a refreshing fruit punch.

No party is complete without a punch bowl brimming with something fruity and delicious. When making enough punch for a dozen or more people, combine the ingredients about a half-hour before serving so that the ice can cool down the punch but the ginger ale doesn't lose its trademark fizz.

Things You'll Need

• 1 quart of cherry or strawberry juice
• 1 liter of ginger ale
• 2 medium cans of pineapple juice
• 2 cups of fresh strawberries or cherries, to match the punch flavor
• Large punch or serving bowl
• 1 punch or serving ladle
• 1 large mixing spoon
• Ice

Instructions

1. Mix the cherry or strawberry juice and pineapple juice in the punchbowl.

2. Slice up your cherries or strawberries and add them to the mixture. You want small enough pieces that you'll get several in every scoop, but not so small that they aren't good for chewing.

3. Add the ginger ale and ice, and stir.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure to add the ginger ale last - I don't know why - but that is what my mom always told me!
