NOTES : Denise's commentary:
They didn't have just pineapple juice at Meijer, so I got pineapple mango juice instead. I left out the raspberries because a) I know Michelle doesn't like raspberries and b) I don't really like things that need to be chewed in my drink. I didn't have a six quart container, so I divided the ingredients by two as best I could and mixed them together in two plastic freezer bags. I think this is MUCH easier then freezing in one container. The punch was alot easier to get out of the bags than a container. And instead of mixing the soda in 1/2 cup increments, I added about the same amount of soda as punch to the punch bowl to make things a little easier.
I'm so glad you all liked the punch....it's my favorite punch recipe. I wish I could take credit for it, but I lifted it from a magazine quite a few years ago :)
