This is a great punch — it works well for kids parties, as well as other occasions.\u00a0 We’ve used this at New Years, and Halloween and the kids all loved it.\u00a0 It looks really festive, and suits the Halloween \"\"<\/a>holiday.<\/p>\n

For Halloween, we served this in a Witches cauldron, which was sitting in a large platter that had dry ice.\u00a0 Serve with gelatin Pixies, for some more fun, if you can find them.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Slushy Orange<\/strong><\/span> Punch<\/h2>\n

1 6oz package Orange Jello
\n3\/4 cup sugar
\n2 cups boiling water
\n30 ounce can Pineapple Juice
\n46 ounce can Apricot Juice
\n16 ounces orange juice
\n1\/2 cup lemon juice
\n4 liters Ginger Ale, or Sprite\/7-Up<\/p>\n

In a large container, dissolve the Jello and sugar in the boiling water, and stir well, until everything is dissolved.\u00a0 Stir in the juices and mix well. Put in the freezer – I use two of the gallon ziplock bags.<\/p>\n

About 2 hours before serving, remove the mixture from the freezer to soften, but not melt totally.\u00a0 Smash it around in the bags, and then place the contents of one bag in a punch bowl or a similarly large bowl.\u00a0 If it is not smashed up enough and soft, use a potato masher.\u00a0 Pour in 1-2 litres of the soda and stir to mix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
