Perfect Purple Punch

"This is my variation of a punch recipe from the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook. Raspberry everything! I've made it for several parties and potlucks and always have requests for the recipe. If I don't make it people get mad! I usually double or triple it and always have extra ginger-ale on hand to pour in when it gets thick. The dry ice is optional but makes for a very cool bubbly fog effect."

  1. I made this for my daughter's Purplicious Pajama Party. It was the perfect combination of purple and pink. Everyone loved it! I had to use raspberry grape juice concentrate as the store was out of lemon raspberry. It was still yummilicous!
     
  2. I think the name of this is deceiving. It is not purple, but is pink. I have used this recipe for 2 baby showers--minus the dry ice--and everyone loves it. I do not use the frozen raspberries, but use fresh--just enough to sprinkle on top of the punch. It has a wonderful flavor and looks so pretty, too. I have even put lemon slices around the bowl to dress it up even more. Yummy!
     
  3. Great Punch, but if you use the dry ice don't put it in a good crystal bowl, I followed the directions exactly and the bowl, very expensive, cracked right down the middle and the punch went everywhere. I brought enough for a double batch, so everything was ok.
     
  4. My sister made this recipe for my baby shower and it was so good! It is one of the best punch recipes I have ever tasted. Everyone loved it. She did not use the frozen raspberries.
     
  5. This is a delicious punch. I made this as per recipe but forgot to put in the floating raspberries. We did not use the dry ice. I made this for my bunko group of 12 ladies. It was loved by all. Made for Holiday Tag.
