Swamp Juice

Original Photo and Recipe

I wanted to make some punch for my work's Halloween party and this was perfect.  It tasted good and it was really easy to make.

Swamp Juice
Serves:  A party
Approx 120 calories per 8 oz serving

• 1 12 ounce can frozen limeade, thawed
• 1 (2 liter) bottle Sprite, 7-up, or gingerale
• 1 quart lime sherbet
• (optional) gummy worms, frozen strawberries, plastic spiders, plastic eyeballs, dry ice
• green food coloring if desired

1. Mix limeade and Sprite (or 7-up, gingerale) in a punch bowl.
2. Add lime sherbet by the spoonfuls.
3. Garnish with gummy worms, plastic spiders and eyeballs, or frozen strawberries (witch hearts) is desired.
4. Serve immediately.
5. Tip 1: For a spooky fog effect take two bowls, one large and one slightly smaller, and fill the larger one with hot water and dry ice. Place the smaller bowl in the larger bowl and fill with swamp juice.
6. Tip 2: To make the punch slushy place your Sprite in the freezer until it gets slightly frozen before adding it in.

Mojito Punch

My mom is the punch queen. Problem with that... the queen doesn't use any recipes. She always tells me the ingredients and says "I dunno, just mix it til it tastes right". This is one of those recipes.... good luck! =) This is definitely trial and error. I personally dislike lime, so I can't really tell you if this is anything like a mojito or if it is any good haha.

-lime slices and mint leaves for garnish
-light rum if you want to make an alcoholic punch

1. Dump in the mostly thawed limeade. Add a bottle of club soda and a couple drops of mint extract. Taste. Repeat as necessary until "it tastes right".

2. Add the rum, lime slices, and mint leaves as desired.

Party Punch

Gotta have a yummy punch to wash down all the baby shower goodies! My mom is the queen of party punches.... the secret? Just start mixing! Taste along the way and adjust as necessary.

Party Punch
Serves: about 20

Mix together the following:
+1 bottle cranberry pomegranate
+1 can frozen lemonade
+1 can frozen orange juice
+3 cans water (from juice cans)
+1 bottle (can) pineapple juice
+1/2 bottle 7-Up

To keep it cold in the bowl, make a pretty ice ring! Get a cool jello mold or a bundt cake pan and fill with the blended punch or just plain 7-Up. You can add slices of fruit too. Make sure to freeze overnight. Don't make the ring too big to fit in the bowl! Enjoy.
