Summer Party Punch

I am a lover of punch, just about any kind, any flavor, any time. Sugary, fruity, fizzy, I like them all.

So, assuming there are other punch lovers out there.

Ali and I discovered a great one to make for a summertime party this weekend. We made the, ahem, adult kind...but you could use Strawberry Faygo and it would be just as good.

Pink Punch
1 bottle (2-liter) of 7-up or Sprite
2 cans of frozen pink lemonade concentrate
1 bottle (1 liter or around there) of red wine or strawberry Faygo- I suggest using a fruity red rather and a dry red.
1 orange
1 lemon
Maraschino cherries for garnish

Put the concentrate in a punch bowl, pour 7-up over it and mix until all the clumps are gone.
Add wine or Faygo
Cut lemon and oranges in thin slices and let them float on top.
Serve in small glasses with cherries on swizzle sticks for decoration.

It was just a perfect punch for a late afternoon birthday party. It would make a good punch for a summertime wedding too.

In a word: Yum.
