    You’re right about not seeing punch a lot anymore, I haven’t seen anyone have punch at an event in a long time. This punch looks delicious!

      It was so good!! I'm trying to think of the last event I attended that had punch....truly I can't come up with one haha.

    When I was a kid, our holiday beverage was cranberry juice & 7Up. I don't know where my mom got this recipe--she could very well have seen this ad and over time, eliminated the stuff that she didn't like or was too much of a hassle. We had it every Thanksgiving and every Christmas.

    Punch was a staple at every community gathering when I was growing up. For family gatherings, my mom would just mix 1 part cranberry juice and 1 part ginger ale and call it punch.

      Yes!! This was so true for me growing up in the 80s and early 90s. I kind of like the sound of ginger ale and cranberry juice, definitely going to try that out.

      I liked this recipe so much! I'll prob just add little dashes of cranberry juice and apple juice to make one for myself instead of making a huge batch.

    I remember a punch that had scoops of sherbet in it back in the 80s and it was delicious! I don’t think I’ve seen a punchbowl since though, guess people don’t serve punch or don’t have those kind of parties anymore.

    My mother made a punch with 7 Up, I recall it having pineapple juice, 7 Up and mint, can’t recall anything else but I remember watching her make it and putting it in the punch bowl. It sparkling and when she let me have a taste the bubbles tickling my nose

      What happened, where did all the punch go? I think at some point the ladies in my family all decided to start drinking Crystal Light. Maybe that's the reason for the switch, at least in my case? I feel like I need to do some sleuthing. 😂

    Good morning Anna! Well...I love all 3 drinks you put into this on their own, so this sounds like a must try for me! Plus, it's so easy to make even a school kid could do it!...One question if I may...Did the ad happen to mention how to spike this punch for the grown-up gatherings? Or would you have any recommendations by chance? Hehehe😉...Thanks so much for sharing, and I wish you and yours a beautiful and blessed month of December ahead! Take care! Ms. Elizabeth 🍸🍷🍸🍷🍸
