My Sweet Sixteen Fruit Punch – Beverages and Drinks Recipes

Recipe ingredients and directions:

Dad made this punch for me for my 16th birthday. Since then it’s been a

family favorite over the years. The recipe has always been requested by all

who taste it. I didn’t have sangria in it then 🙂

2 lemons thinly sliced

2 oranges thinly sliced

2 limes, thinly sliced

2 cartons of frozen strawberries

2 large cans of berry fruit drink or canned red fruit punch

1 qt ginger ale

1/2 to 1 qt sangria wine ( optional for sangria punch )

1/2 gallon sherbet: ( lemon, lime, raspberry or orange)

1 ice ring ( optional ):

1 quart ginger ale

mint leaves

pitted cherries or grapes

Thinly slice fruit and place in a large punch bowl. Add the canned fruit

punch or red berry drink, ginger ale, strawberries and wine if using. Float

sherbet balls atop punch. Note: if using ice ring , add before placing in

the sherbet. For ice ring, fill a ring mold halfway with ginger ale and add

mint leaves, grapes etc and freeze firm. Add more ginger ale to cover and

freeze firm again. The ring will keep punch cold and the liquid will

dilute into the punch. Recipe makes one gallon.
