Lemon-Strawberry Punch

1 1/2 cups strawberries
1/2 cup sugar
3 cans lemonade concentrate
1 qt ginger ale (I think 7-up will work)
ice

Christmas-Wreath Punch

2 cans limeade concentrate
2 cans lemonade concentrate
40 oz grape juice
40 oz pineapple juice
3 qt ginger ale
1qt water
ice


Am I wrong in thinking that I could just bung whatever I've got (maybe buy some lemon or lime concentrate) together, taste it to be sure, and call it punch?

Because it seems like it.

NO.

NO I'm not wrong in thinking this, or NO I need a real recipe?

A passage from Good Housekeeping:

"Strawberry Milk
Children love milk flavored with instant strawberry-flavored beverage powder."

And that's all there is about Strawberry Milk.

The people who write Good Housekeeping know nothing. Luckily, you don't need to know anything to make punch.

Ah. Good. I wonder how much punch people can drink.

In my experience, much less than you think. You probably have too much 7-up. If Joel is indeed a hummingbird he may consume a lot.

Oh, in case you were wondering, I looked it up and 1 quart is approximately equal to 1 liter.

I shall buy some lemonade concentrate, as it seems important, and maybe some cola for non-punch people.

Pineapple juice seems important too. Nutmeg, maybe.

Good Luck!

Hm. I don't think anyone wants black specks floating in their punch.

I dunno. Many recipes seem to suggest cinnamon, nutmeg and tea. If this is late at night caffeine may be a good idea, or not.

1. TAKE RANDOM THINGS
2. ALSO 7UP
3. OPERATE THINGS, 7UP IN PUNCH BOWL
4. TASTE
5. ADD ICE
6. OPERATE GUESTS WITH PUNCHBOWL

INDEED.

Oh, it says always add the soda just before serving.

Commies.
