Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve the cherry or strawberry flavored Jello and sugar in boiling water.
- Add the frozen lemonade, unsweetened pineapple juice, and almond extract; stir well.
- Optional: Freeze part of the mixture in a ring mold or plastic milk jugs to chill the punch or save for later.
- When ready to serve, add the 7-Up to the punch mixture and stir gently.
Tips & Substitutions
For a less sweet punch, reduce the sugar or use a sugar substitute. You can also experiment with different flavors of Jello to find your favorite. If you're looking for a non-alcoholic version, this punch is perfect as is, but feel free to add fresh fruit like oranges or berries for an extra twist. For a refreshing twist reminiscent of Katy'S Punch, consider adding mint leaves.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this punch in a large bowl or pitcher with ice to keep it chilled. Garnish with fresh fruit slices or mint for a festive touch. It pairs beautifully with Holiday Yams With Marshmallows or Ranch Roasted Potatoes, making it a great addition to holiday gatherings or summer barbecues. Consider providing a ladle for easy serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover punch in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you freeze part of the mixture, it can last up to a month. To serve frozen punch, simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight before adding the 7-Up. Avoid reheating as this punch is best enjoyed cold.
