I made this punch last year for 4th of July and everybody loved it, it was gone by the end of the night. I really like the lemonade ring. I'm going to make it again in a couple weeks. Good for parties. Thanks Paula!

I recently made this for a christmas party and it was a big hit. i couldnt find the banana daiquiri mix either so I used the strawberry instead. I also added some frozen pineapple rings and juice to the mix.(just cuz i like pineapples) It was a huge success and is now the offical punch of all my parties!!!




Tasty and gone quickly

We don't normally drink punch at our adult parties and I was worried it was going to all go to waste. But everyone had some and loved it. I would make the recipe twice, because we ran out an hour into the party! I also used a 6 pan muffin tin instead of the big round mold, I just thought it would be easier to control (so the punch wouldn't spill over my small bowl once the ring was added) and they looked great...I just modified the limes, lemons, oranges, mint and cherries to fit the big muffin tins. Tasty and fun recipe!

This punch was a hit with or without comfort. Cannot find frozen banana daiquiri mix. I mashe 4 small bananas with sugar and it worked fine. People could not figure out what the flavor was.

I made this a few years ago for a party and haven't looked back. Anytime I need a go-to drink for a gathering of friends and/or family, this is it. I even put in the effort for the ice rings. It looks at great as it tastes. I get a gross amount of compliments for this punch; everyone wants the recipe. One day I'll let them in on my little secret...




Can't find Banana Daiquiri mix

I could not find the frozen Banana Daiquiri mix so I substituted orange, pineapple, banana frozen juice mix. Not really sure it was the right thing to do. The punch was thick and the ginger ale didn't help. Overall the effect was just ok.

We made this for an xmas party but I could not find the banana daiquiri mix so we use strawberry daiquiri mix and we went through 3 batches.

I'm looking forward to making this punch for my daughter's Couples Baby Shower next weekend... In my neck of the woods we have three sizes of frozen O.J. 8oz, 12oz and 16oz... Which size is considered large for this punch??? 12oz or 16oz??? Also do you all think I would be O.K. if I make and freeze the fruit ring a week ahead??? Thanks PAcheryl

It's dangerous because you can't taste the alcohol and it's so fruity and delicious.

I made this punch for a deployment party for some of the soldiers in my husband's Army unit and (to their surprise!) they loved it! I added a little more ginger ale and had to use strawberry daquiri mix because I couldn't find banana. I do not like the taste of alcohol but even I loved this one!!

Everyone loved this, it was a big hit at a Bday party we had. I couldn't find the banana mix so I used a combo of Orange,Strawberry daiquiri mix, banana liqueur, and some Southern Comfort!

I really enjoyed this receipe. Where I'm from its just simply called "hunch punch". but this punch had a little more punch to it. it will be used this Christmas and New Years Eve.




Great Punch!!

I made this punch for a New Years party, and it was a huge hit. My only regret was not making a double batch. It was gone by 11:00. We could not find Banana daquari mix, so we used Pina colada and it worked great. I imagine you could use any daquari mix. Don't hesitate to use the whole bottle of wiskey. As the lemonade ring melts, it blends the flavors real well.

Besides doing the ice ring a few days earlier, this was VERY easy! The ice ring makes so tasty looking and even after adding the entire 1/5, the punch still didn't taste strong.

I made this punch for a party recently, and everyone loved it. We couldn't find frozen banana daiquiri mix here in the Boston area, so we used banana-flavored liquor instead. We also used vodka instead of southern comfort. It was delicious.

I made this for a family party, but left out the southern comfort, and added extra ginger ale. It was great! Some of the adults added vodka to theirs and that was good too!
