For my daughter-in-laws baby shower we used hawaiin punch, ginger ale and scoops of sherbet. Its really good and very easy to make. I don't remember the amounts of what you should have. We just kind of put in a little of this and a little of that.lol.

This is excellent. I have had this at many baby showers. I believe that with 1 of each it will make 2 bowls of punch half gallon sherbet, 1 2 litter of ginger ale, and a medium bottle of hawaiian punch. Good luck with this. :)

I really like juice sparklers and they are very easy to make! Just take cranberry juice and add some sprite to it and put orange slices to float for garnish. You can do it with grape juice or apple juice too and they are just as good.

MIx one can of frozen fruit punch concentrate with a 2-liter bottle of Sprite or 7-Up. Don't dilute the concentrate with water, add it directly to the soda.

This one sounds the easiest, and with the fewest ingredients. I love punch, I've just not been a punch maker. I appreciate your sharing your recipe with me :)

Baby Blue Punch - The ice cream melts somewhat and turns the punch a beautiful baby blue color leaving frothy blue and white clouds floating on top. Everyone thought it tasted great and asked for the recipe. Its also very adaptable to your taste. The sky's the limit. Try any flavor or color of unsweetened drink mix in place of the blue."
Baby Blue Punch INGREDIENTS 1 (0.13 ounce) package blue, berry flavored unsweetened drink mix 1 (2 liter) bottle lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage 1 (64 fluid ounce) bottle white cranberry juice 8 scoops vanilla ice cream 1 cup white sugar, or to taste DIRECTIONS In a large punch bowl, stir together the drink mix, lemon-lime soda, and white cranberry juice. Taste, and stir in sugar to your liking. (I like to add the whole cup.) Float scoops of ice cream on the top. The ice cream melts somewhat and turns the punch a beautiful baby blue color with frothy white clouds floating on the top. Pretty in Pink Punch 2/3 c. red cinnamon candies, divided 1 qt. strawberry ice cream, softened 1/4 c. sugar 1/2 c. water 46 oz. can pineapple juice 12 oz. can frozen pink lemonade concentrate (prepared) 1 ltr. bottle ginger ale, chilled Sprinkle 1/3 c. cinnamon candies into a 5 cup ring mold sprayed with vegetable spray. Spread ice cream on top. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until ready to use. Combine remaining cinnamon candies, sugar and water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until candies dissolve, stirring often. Set aside and cool completely. Poured cooled mixture into a large punch bowl and add pineapple juice and pink lemonade. Just before serving: stire in ginger ale; remove ice cream ring from mold and float in punch. Make 4-5 quarts. Both of these baby shower punches makes a wonderful presentation!

this one is usually done with booze but it's really good without too. splurge and buy the more expensive juices, it will make a difference. you could also use non-frozen juices as well in the same proportions. 1 can frozen pineapple juice 2 cans frozen oj small bottle of cranberry juice enough sprite to make it fizzy mix the juices then add the sprite after so you don't kill the bubbles!

I had forgot about Wassail Punch. I haven't had any of that since my daughter was in Madrigals. We served it at a Madrigal Dinner party. Delicious! I have not tried to other two you listed. But they also sound delicious! Thank you so much for sharing these with me :)
