1 can(s) 6 oz frozen orange juice
1/3 c lime juice
2 l ginger ale
1 bottle 12 oz seltzer water (carbonated water)
1 c sugar

Steps:

  • 1. There is really no directions.....just mix it all together and you have punch!......My suggestion is to mix it all except the ginger ale. It makes a nice size batch, so have a few empty gallon containers to put it in. I usually make this the night before my parties
  • 2. So you won't need ice and it will not water it down take some of the mixture after it is mixed and make a ice ring (you can add some cherry's in it to make it look fancy). When I am ready for my party I put the mixture in the punch bowl and the ginger ale. Mix it around and taste it....you will know how much ginger ale to add.
