Pineapple Slushy Punch

I'm always trying to come up with some new and fun foods for my boys.  This past week I tried a new punch recipe for Wild Wednesday.  It was a hit!  My boys said it is the BEST punch I've ever made.  It is so easy too and took 5 minutes to put together. 

2 packets of Koo-laid (I used Very Berry)

2 Cups of Sugar

1 46 oz. Can of Pineapple Juice

1 bottle of Lemon Lime Juice (99cents at Karl's)

Mix all the above together in big container and put in freezer 4-6 hours before serving.  

Right before serving take out of freezer and stir in one 1/2 Gallon container of Pineapple Sherbet Ice Cream. Use a potato masher to get all the lumps out if needed.  IT IS SO YUMMY! 

You can re-freeze the left overs and right before serving add more Lemon Lime to it to make it punch consistency again.  It's just as good the second time!

Coffee Punch

This punch has become a New Year’s Eve tradition for our family.  It is so yummy and has enough caffeine in it to keep us all awake playing games until Midnight to watch the New Year come in.  LOL! 

1 Quart Triple Strength Coffee Brewed (Approximately 3 cups water and 2 heaping tablespoons coffee)
1/2 Cup sugar
Stir to dissolve and chill.
1/2 Pint Heavy Cream
1 1/2 T. Vanilla Extract
1/2 Gallon Chocolate Ice Cream
1/2 Gallon Vanilla Ice Cream

Combine everything but the ice cream and refrigerate until ready to make the punch. 

When ready to serve or just 30 minutes before hand, add the ice cream to a punch bowl and pour the coffee mixture over it and mix or mash with potato masher and leave a little lumpy.  Sometimes you will need more liquid and you can add milk or more brewed coffee.  We also like to drizzle chocolate syrup on top too.

You can freeze the leftovers and thaw an hour or so before serving time again.  Delicious!  Like my Mom says, It tastes like STARBUCKS!

Wedding Punch

This is the punch we served on our wedding (July 22, 2000).

2 Pkg. Kool Aid (any kind)
2 Qt. Water
46 oz. Pineapple Juice
2 C. Sugar
3 Litter Lime Soda

Mix all the ingredients together except the lime soda. Freeze and then when you are ready to serve take out of freezer and let melt until slushy. Poor lime soda over and serve.
