Raspberry Lemonade

I have a lot of wonderful drink recipes that I have collected over the years, but this has to be one of my favorites. In fact, I made it for our Fantasy Football Draft Party. My kids and husband love it. And it is really popular with my friends and they often ask for the recipe.

Raspberry Lemonade

1 64 oz. can unsweetened pineapple juice or 1 can pineapple juice frozen concentrate mixed according to directions

1 packet Raspberry Lemonade Crystal Light

1 packet Raspberry Ice Crystal Light

4 c. water

1 8 oz. package frozen raspberries

1-2 liter bottle lemon-lime soda (You may want to have more than one.)


Combine pineapple juice, Crystal Light juices and water in pitcher and stir. Add raspberries. Chill. When ready to serve, combine with lemon-lime soda in a punch bowl.

Tips:

• Pour concentrate into a mold, or bundt pan and freeze for at least 6 hours. Un-mold and place frozen ring in a punch bowl. About 20 minutes before serving add lemon-lime soda. You will want to have more than one bottle of soda.



• You can serve the concentrate from the pitcher, mix a one to one ratio for concentrate and soda.



• Serve with extra frozen raspberries on the side.



• Invest in a cute punch bowl. You will be amazed at how often you will use it.



• You can also freeze the concentrate in an old ice cream tub or other container and scrape ice off to add to the soda if you are not serving to a crowd. Just put the extra back in the freezer for later.



• You can also use Kool-aid if you do not want to use the Crystal Light, but you will also have to add the 2 cups of sugar.
