Ingredients
  

  • (2) 3-ounce packages strawberry gelatin (Jell-O used)
  • 1 ¼ cups sugar
  • 6 cups water
  • 46 ounces pineapple juice (Dole fresh refrigerated juice used)
  • ⅔ cup lemon juice, fresh
  • 32 ounces Simply Cranberry Cocktail
  • (2) 2-liter bottles ginger ale, chilled
  • vodka (optional for spiked punch)

Instructions
 

  • In a large pan, add the gelatin, sugar, and water, and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Set aside to cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the pineapple juice, lemon juice, and cranberry cocktail. Divide and pour into two one-gallon freezer bags. Freeze for two hours or overnight.
  • Remove from the freezer. If the mixture is frozen hard, let it thaw until you can break up any large chunks. To make half of the punch, place the contents of one bag into a punch bowl and pour one bottle of ginger ale over it. If using an extra-large punch bowl for a large crowd, place both slush mixtures into it and pour both ginger ales over it.
  • To spike this punch, pour 1 cup of vodka into the punch bowl with 1 bag of punch mixture and 1 bottle of ginger ale. Or for individual servings, pour a splash of vodka into each drinking glass when you add the ginger ale. Stir.

Notes

Substitutions

  • Simply Cranberry Cocktail is preferred for this recipe over other brands because it is not as tart.  You can substitute fresh pomegranate juice for cranberry juice.
  • You can substitute cherry gelatin for the strawberry.

Sugar Amounts

  • If you like a sweeter punch, add 2 1/4 cups of sugar instead of 1 1/4.
  • If you prefer no added sugar, leave out the sugar, but use Simply Cranberry Cocktail juice so the sugar-to-juice ratio remains correct.
