Great! I served this last year at my in-laws 50th Anniversary Party using Ginger Ale instead of the 7-UP (my preference). People love this stuff. I froze in 1 gallon zip-locks. To serve allow to thaw slightly, add to punch bowl, pour over ginger ale and use a potato masher to blend. This is sooo yummy, I wish I had some right now. Very easy to do ahead and have stored in freezer for whatever.

Everyone loved this at my son's birthday party. We had a banana theme and this was just right not too much banana. I think the lemonade helps it be not too sweet.

This was actually quite good. I served this before my son's prom while we were taking photos of the couples. Everyone tried to figure out the ingredients! I used the 7-Up as suggested but found it a little sweet. Next time I'll try plain seltzer.

YUM! This fizzy punch just hit the spot for me and my friends. I let the mix freeze in a bag and just beat it a bit with my meat beater and it mushed up great (covered it with a towel so the bag wouldn't bust). Poured it in the bowl, added the diet 7-up (nobody knew it was diet!) and served it up. We gave it about twelve thumbs WAY up! Will be posting a pic later!
