  1. chriszp REVIEW:

    My parents been making this punch since 1972. And we still make it every year. One non-alcohlic bowl and one punch bowl with so co for the adults. We always add 1 bag frozen strawberries and some fresh strawberries. Also along with the orange slices add lemon slices for more vibrant color. Love this punch. Yes the alcoholic one does sneak up on you as others have said. I switch to non alcoholic one which is still delicious. If too sweet can put less 7up in and use seltzer.

    Every Recipe sounds great!!!!

  3. Doubles REVIEW:

    Great punch! I have been making a different (stronger) version of this for a little over a decade now. You can add two bottles of dry champagne and subtract 2 of the 3 ltrs of 7 up for even more kick and tastes even better!

    Im looking for a spiked drink for my wedding and this sounds soo good just not sure if Itd be good for a wedding if it sneaks up on ya??

  5. Punchy REVIEW:

    Becareful drinking this stuff, it packs a punch (get it? punch?). Kidding. It's great and the grownups love it at parties. The hard part is making sure the kids don't think it's just fruit punch. I freeze orange slices and maraschino cherries and float them instead of plain ice.

  6. Jo REVIEW:

    I have made this 3 times since the 4th of July. It was a HUGE success at our 4th of July BBQ (made double and it was gone before the fireworks!). I started calling it 'Sneaky Punch' though, because it does sneak up on you if you don't pay attention to how much you drink. Haven't gotten a bad review of it from anyone who has tried it! Tip: Mix everything but the soda together and freeze. Refrigerate the soda. To make the drink just scoop about 2-3 ounces per 10-12 ounces of soda in a cup. No need for ice (or MUCH ice)!

  7. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    Great Punch - Great Taste - the only problem was that it's sooooo smooth, people didn't think there was any alcohol in it It was also super easy to make.

  8. Sport Coach REVIEW:

    I used to make this stuff in college about 20 years ago. Great taste but does sneak up on you if not careful.

  9. Cin REVIEW:

    I have been making this OPEN HOUSE PUNCH for years. I make it for NEW YEARS parties.. It goes over well and everyone wants the recipe afterwards. Can't hardly tell there is any liquor in it. It does sneek up on you. No one believes it SoCo..
