Party Punch

I made this punch for my daughter's wedding reception and it was a hit.

1 pkg. unsweetened pink lemonade Kool-Aid
2 cups sugar
2 cups hot water
2 cups cold water
32 oz. pineapple juice
1 (2 liter) bottle ginger ale


Mix first 3 ingredients together until sugar is dissolved. Add cold water and pineapple juice. Freeze. Several hours before use, take out and let thaw until slushy. Put in punch bowl and add ginger ale. Mix gently.

Christmas Wassail

This recipe is perfect for those cold winter nights and especially good during the holidays. My ex-boyfriend gave me this recipe. Let's just say this is the only good thing that came from that relationship. Enjoy!


1 gallon apple cider
25-30 whole cloves
6-10 cinnamon sticks
1 quart pineapple juice
1 (6 oz.) can frozen orange juice concentrate

Mix all ingredients in a large pot and simmer. Serve hot.
