Tropical Fruit Punch

So, Selissa's post prompted me to share this yummy recipe that we had at my daughter's birthday party. It's been a hit everytime I've done it... (okay, I've only done it twice, but whatever...)

Ingredients:

1 (40-ounce) can pineapple juice
1 (32-ounce) bottle lemon-lime soda (The recipe actually calls for sugar free, however mine wasn't and it tasted good too.)
1 (6-ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
1 (16-ounce) package frozen peaches
1 (12-ounce) package frozen raspberries
2 bananas, peeled and sliced
2 oranges, sliced (I didn't actually use oranges... if anyone does it with oranges, let me know how it tastes.)

Combine all ingredients in a punch bowl, and stir. Enjoy!

Oh, side note... if the punch starts to get warm, add more frozen fruit!

Water Punch!

I hosted a Bridal Shower last night for my Sister-in-law and the punch that was served was absolutely delish! As well as extremely easy! The recipe came from an adorable Kitchen store here in Logan, UT!

Water Punch

1 Tbsp Citric Acid
1 Tbsp Lemon Extract
2 Cups Sugar
5 quarts Water

Mix and refrigerate
Serve with Ice
Lemon or LIme slices add color. We used Orange slices because one of the wedding colors is orange.

Enjoy!
