Valentine’s Day Punch

The red color makes this a fun valentine’s day punch. It actually is a slushy punch. Part of the recipe is combined the night before and then frozen. The trick is to allow the frozen part to thaw just enough to make a slush when the soda is added to it. I fill 2 zip top bags for this recipe. I take mine out 30 minutes before the party or dinner and then add the chilled sprite just as my family or guests get ready to eat.

Just a few tips:

  • I don’t enjoy washing dishes. For this recipe I eye ball half of the juice and half of the mixer poured directly into each zip top bag. I don’t get out a measuring cup for exact measurements. I do place the zip top bag in a bowl before I pour the liquid in because it is a tricky maneuver by yourself. It is easier with a friend helping.
  • Laying the zip top bag flat in the freezer will help it freeze faster and thaw faster.
  • It is important to chill the soda because a warm soda added to a cold slush will make the slush melt faster then you want it to.
