Cranberry Raspberry Non-Alcoholic Fruit Punch

"This is a very simple, quick recipe that I put together with what I happened to have available. The result is quite tasty! The splenda is partly for offsetting the tartness from the citrus fruit wedges in the drink- if you don't use citrus fruits in the punch, taste test it before adding any sweetener. Cook time is chill time."

  1. Oooh...Zaar squished my picture! Regardless, it is a very nice drink...I didn't use the splenda because I just can't stand the aftertaste from it. Otherwise, I kept the recipe as posted. Thanks for sharing!
     
  2. Oh what a nice refreshing flavor. Had everything in the fridge so it was already chilled. I didn't need any sweetener or sugar. I had put in some lemon, lime and orange wedges (all picked fresh from my trees) and I put in a few marachino cherries. Definitely a delicious drink to have by the pool. I also made mine alcoholic by adding and ounce of vodka. Went really well with it. Will make again for sure. Thanks for sharing Shuzbud. Made for Holiday Tag '09
     
  3. Right away I had to double this recipe (for 2 of us, but then . . . Most of our drinks go into very tall glasses! For the fresh fruit I used raspberries & peaches (but had a hard time cutting the berries into wedges!) & then used Mt Dew for the carbonation! OUTSTANDING DRINK, for sure, & definitely a keeper of a recipe! [Tgged, made & reviewed in Every Day Is a Holiday tag]

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a primary school teacher living in Bristol, England. At the moment I teach Kindergarten, known here as Reception. I really love my job but it doesn't leave much time for hobbies! I enjoy cooking for friends and aim to try new recipes as often as possible! My signature dish has to be White Chocolate Blondies, as it is my most requested sweet treat, and I definitely have a sweet tooth! Update- 5-5-09: Somebody was very thoughtful and gave me the gift of a premium membership. I can honestly say it made me feel so good! If you're out there, THANK YOU so much! I can't quite believe the generosity... <img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a254/Sharon123/Copyoftag300-banner.jpg" border="0" alt="Susie's Banner for Newest Zaar Tag"> <img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/Recipezaar%20Album/iplaytagin.jpg"> <img src="http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg"> <img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/holidaybadge.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"X> <img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/Banners/holidayprmr2.jpg"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg"> <img src="http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/7505/mybanner4a394ee84d5f0.jpg" > <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/Permanent%20Banners/cc-banner-7-09.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg">
