What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

The combination of cranberry juice, lemonade and 7-UP makes this a very refreshing punch. It's always a hit with large groups and you can't beat how simple it is to make. Hint: freeze additional cranberry juice in ice cube trays to use in place of regular ice.
1 quart cranberry juice cocktail, chilled
1 can (6 ounce size) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
2 cups vodka
1 1/2 quart 7-UP (or other lemon-lime soda), chilled
ice
In a large punch bowl, combine the cranberry juice, thawed lemonade concentrate, and vodka. If desired you can combine these ingredients ahead of time and keep chilled until ready to serve.
Add the 7-UP and ice just before serving.
You can also use lemon-lime flavored vodka in place of regular vodka.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

This punch was served at a halloween party and it was amazing, so I asked for the recipe. I will be making this for Thanksgiving dinner.

Made this for a party and it was a hit. To cut down on calories, has anyone tried diet lemonade (not frozen)?

I froze extra cranberry juice in ice cube trays and used that instead of plain ice so it wouldn't be diluted with flavor. Very good punch without being too strong.

I made this punch for fight watch party. Everybody loved it. It was super easy to make. It's easily the best party punch I've had.

Loved it. Used diet cranberry juice (lower in sugar) and diet 7up. Cut the guilt down a little but still packs a flavorful punch (pun intended)

I personally didn't care for this recipe. Now I will have to add some sherbet in an attempt to salvage it. I think it's too bitter the way the recipe tells you to make it.
