I need a good punch recipe! One that's not horribly sweet, has no ice cream or sherbet it in, and is non-alcoholic.

Thanks in advance!

This one was served at our church alot. Not too sweet.

4 C. cranberry juice
4 C. pineapple juice
1 qt. gingerale
1/2 C. sugar

Mix together and serve with a frozen ice ring (you could use more pineapple juice).

As usual, I don't have the measurements written down, but this is one we always liked a lot!

small can frozen lemonade concentrate
small can frozen orange juice concentrate
small can frozen limeade concentrate
fruit punch (We used to be able to get a LARGE can of frozen concentrate. I haven't done this in a while, but I think it made a half gallon, not just 46oz like a Hawaiian Punch can.)
2 liters of ginger ale (Seagram's is best, as it isn't so sweet)
1 orange, sliced in circles ~1/4" thick
1 lemon, sliced in circles ~1/4" thick
1 lime, sliced in circles ~1/4" thick

Mix all concentrates together with the appropriate amount of water indicated on each can. Lay the slices of fruit on top & pour the ginger ale over all. We used to make this for a junior high youth group's New Year's Eve party. They always called it "Christian Sangria" because of the flavor the fruit rinds give it - how they knew what REAL Sangria tasted like to make the comparison, I don't know! :D

I used to make up some - or just some fruit punch - to use for an "ice" ring. Stud it with maraschino cherries.

...looking for a good punch for a 1st b'day party (Mickey & Minnie's Tropical Luau). We don't mind if it is sweet, but prefer not to deal with ice cream/sherbets either...

Thanks for any suggestions!

p.s.-If posting recipes, I would love to know how many servings per batch... ;)
