Easy Citrus Slush

Name: Easy Citrus Slush
Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 15 min
Yield: about 6 quarts (about 25 servings).
Ingredients: 2-1/2 cups sugar; 1 package (3 ounces) lemon gelatin; 1 package (3 ounces) pineapple gelatin; 4 cups boiling water; 1 can (12 ounces) frozen pineapple juice concentrate, thawed; 1 cup lemon juice; 1 envelope (0.23 ounce) unsweetened lemonade soft drink mix; 10 cups cold water; 2 liters ginger ale, chilled

This recipe was created years ago for church bridal and baby showers, the result of the hostess committee sharing ideas. We would use different flavored gelatins to color-coordinate with the decor of the occasion. I especially liked the flavors and colors of lemon and pineapple and developed them into this recipe, which I like to use at home.

Ingredients

2-1/2 cups sugar
1 package (3 ounces) lemon gelatin
1 package (3 ounces) pineapple gelatin
4 cups boiling water
1 can (12 ounces) frozen pineapple juice concentrate, thawed
1 cup lemon juice
1 envelope (0.23 ounce) unsweetened lemonade soft drink mix
10 cups cold water
2 liters ginger ale, chilled

Directions

In a large container, dissolve sugar and gelatins in boiling water. Stir in the pineapple juice concentrate, lemon juice, drink mix and cold water. If desired, place in smaller containers. Cover and freeze, stirring several times.
Remove from freezer at least 1 hour before serving. Stir until mixture becomes slushy. Just before serving, place 9 cups slush mixture in a punch bowl; stir in 1 liter ginger ale. Repeat with remaining slush and ginger ale.

Everyone at the bridal shower RAVED about this punch. They said it was very refreshing and wasn't too sweet the way some punches are. It was a hit!

Everyone loved this punch however I wasn't able to find pineapple gelatin so used the tropical fusion flavor in place of it.
