Grandma's Peach Punch

Taha Ayad

Grandma's Peach Punch is a fruity, fizzy make-ahead party drink with a cold slushy texture, peach gelatin, pineapple juice, frozen lemonade, and white soda. It is ideal for showers, holidays, reunions, and family gatherings because the punch base can be frozen ahead and finished right before serving.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

6 oz package peach gelatin
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
3 ½ cups boiling water
12 oz can frozen lemonade concentrate
46 oz can unsweetened pineapple juice
6 cups cold water
2 liters white soda

Method

In a large heat-safe bowl, combine the peach gelatin, granulated sugar, and boiling water. Stir for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the gelatin and sugar are fully dissolved and the liquid looks smooth.
Stir in the frozen lemonade concentrate, pineapple juice, and cold water until evenly combined.
Pour the punch base into freezer-safe containers, leaving a little room at the top for expansion. Freeze until solid, preferably several hours or a day or two ahead.
About 1 hour before serving, remove the frozen punch base from the freezer. Break it apart with a fork until it has a soft slushy consistency.
Transfer the slushy punch base to a large punch bowl. Slowly pour the white soda over the top and gently fold it in so the punch stays fizzy.
Serve immediately while cold and slushy.

Notes

Do not add the soda before freezing, or the punch will lose its fizz.
For easier thawing, freeze the punch base in two smaller containers instead of one very large container.
If the punch is too thick after thawing, add a little extra soda and stir gently.
For best texture, serve shortly after adding the soda.
