Pink punch for baby shower

[*LittleMissSummer*]

I really want to make a non alcoholic punch for my baby shower and i want it to be pink.

Has anyone made one, what recipe did you use?

[Tinks]

Maybe fill the bowl with Lemonade and add some good Raspberry cordial and some watermelon, strawberries, raspberries and any other pink fruit you can find.

Or maybe even Maison and Cranberry Juice.

Sorry that's as creative as I can get today

[AliBaby]

just add grenadine. its the stuff they put in for pink lemonade

[*LittleMissSummer*]

Oh i LOVE pink lemonade. And where can i get grenadine from?

[Tinks]

Bottle shops sell it.

[*LittleMissSummer*]

I thought that sounded familiar, haha and i work in a grog shop. Hmm but isnt it alcoholic?

[*LittleMissSummer*]

Its ok i rang DP and he told me. Thats an idea.

Now would this sound disgusting:

Vanilla ice cream
Lemonade
Grenadine (to make it look pink)
Strawberries, watermelon and raspberries

Honest opinions.

Guava Juice is pink

The yellow cartons in the juice section of Apple and Guava Juice will do it, mix with other juices and some fresh fruit like pineapple and strawberries

HTH

That too me would be a spider. Remember those?

I think it would be okay but you could only add the icecream to individul glasses otherwise it will be a big frothy mess IYKWIM.

Grenadine is non alcoholic. They give it to kids in lemonade for pink lemonades so I figure it must be okay.

There are also a few brands that sell pink lemonade.. Schwepps used to have the traditional lemonade in pink, and am pretty sure Waterfords do one too (and waterford was a diet one).

I would hold off on the icecream personally. To me a punch should be light and refreshing. At my baby shower we had a punch of watermelon juice and ciata softdrink with slices of lime. It was delicious

Ice cream in punch doesn't really sound appealing to me. I would just stick with your recipe, minus the IC! Yum, sounds great.

Just saw these in "what to expect when you're expecting"

Mock Strawberry Daiquiri

2 cups fresh (hulled) or frozen (thawed) unsweetened strawberries
1 cup crushed ice cubes (1/2 cup if using frozen berries)
1/2 cup apple juice
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Place all the ingredints in a blender and pure. Serve cold in tall chilled glasses. Serves 4.

Virgin Sangria

3 cups unsweetened purple or white grape juice
1 cup apple juice
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 small unpeeled lemon, sliced & seeded
1 small unpeeled orange, sliced & seeded
1 small unpeeded apple, cored and cut into eighths
3/4 cup sparkling water
ice cubs, for serving

Combine all the ingredients except the sparkling water & ice in a large jug. Stir well, and chill. Add the sparkling water just before service. Serve over ice in wineglasses. Serves 5-6. purple juice will give colour, else the white grape juice with grenadine

Hope you have a great party!!!!
