DD really enjoyed this as did a friend of mine that was over when I made it. I think this is a fun summer punch - great to make for parties - will try next time in a punchbowl with a frozen cranberry and fruit ring this symmer! I might also try fresh sherry juice, but didn't mind the flavor as is. I think you could adjust everything to suit your personal tastes, as with any recipe - and it would even be fun to try an adult version using a bit of sparkling reisling or vodka. Nice party punch Syd Mike! Thanks for the recipe!Reply

I liked this but didn't care for the artificial taste and smell. I mixed everything but the ice and ginger ale in a 2qt pitcher. It fit exactly. Then for each serving I put ice in a glass poured the juice mix 3/4 full and then topped it off with ginger ale. I would like to try this again with actual cherry juice.Reply
