Cranberry Punch
- 3 ounces cherry gelatin
- 1 cup boiling water
- 6 ounce can frozen lemonade
- 3 cups very cold water
- 1 quart chilled cranberry juice
- About 20 ice cubes or a molded ring of ice
- 12 ounces chilled ginger ale
Make a molded ring of ice by spraying the mold with PAM spray. Then add cold water. Place in freezer. When the ice is about 1/2 frozen, insert decorations to match your birthday party theme. Make sure the decorations are suspended in the water. If not, freeze some more before inserting the decorations. These can be toys or candies or anything that will look good in the ring. Freeze the ring overnight.
Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in frozen lemonade. Add cold water and cranberry juice stirring thoroughly. Place punch in a large punch bowl and chill until party time. Unmold the ice ring and add to the punch, then add the ginger ale, just before guests arrive.
This birthday party drink recipe makes a festive red punch that is healthy and fun. You can substitute sugar free gelatin and light cranberry juice if you are watching calories.
