Today I helped with a graduation reception.

My grandma always used to make this one punch at family get functions. It was pineapple juice and either 7 up or ginger ale(I can't remember which one) with a bunch of scoops of lime sherbet dropped in it.

Ginger ale and raspberry sherbert sounds delicious! I'm a huge fan of ginger drinks. A bottle or two added to almost any fruit punch really enlivens it and gives it a little 'kick'. My family are big fans of elderflower based drinks. The kids love elderflower cordial, and we like elderflower champagne. The flowers are just opening here now, so I've just bought a new bucket so I can start making this year's batch.

I rarely make fruit punches, although if available I love to drink them. I enjoy the fruity ones a lot, but I do like the champagne added. It is nice to see a punch with real fruit floating around in it, although strawberries are very expensive. When it was my 50th birthday, my 9 year old step daughter wanted to make a punch. She used lemons & oranges from our trees, and added lemonade, then added real peach slices & strawberries. It turned out quite nice.

Gerty, my favorite is ginger ale and lime sherbet. How did you make your Mock champagne? That sounds awfully good.
