Banana Brunch Punch
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. + freezing
YIELD: 60-70 servings (10 quarts).
A cold glass of refreshing punch really brightens a brunch. It's nice to serve a crisp beverage like this that's more spectacular than plain juice. With bananas, orange juice and lemonade, it can add tropical flair to a winter day. —Mary Anne McWhirter, Pearland, Texas
