This punch is just right for your block parties and BBQ's this summer. It's inexpensive to make and tastes excellent on a hot day. You can easily "spike" it with rum or vodka if it's an adult get together, but be warned, this stuff is habit forming!!
2 cups frozen orange juice concentrate
5 ripe bananas, cut into chunks
46 ounces pineapple juice
2 cups water
3/4 cup honey
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup sugar sweetened lemonade drink mix
4 liters* lemon-lime soda, chilled
In a blender, combine orange juice concentrate and bananas; cover and process until smooth.
Pour into a large bowl; add the pineapple juice, water, honey, sugar and lemonade drink mix. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour into two 2-qt. freezer containers. Cover and freeze until mixture is slushy.
To serve, transfer each portion of fruit slush to a large pitcher. Add 2 liters of soda to each pitcher; stir to blend.
*Decrease soda to 3 liters and add one liter of chilled Malibu Rum or chilled Absolute Vodka, if desired.
Serves 30 / makes 7 gallons.
