Mom’s Party Punch Base
1-1/2 c. sugar
2 pkg. Raspberry Koolaid (not sweetened)
1 c. water
1 c. pineapple juice (unsweetened)
1/4 c. frozen lemonade concentrate (defrosted)
Mix well. Chill or freeze until ready to serve, at least 2 hours to blend flavors and thoroughly dissolve sugar. (If frozen in quart freezer box, let defrost at room temperature about 2 hours before serving time.)
When ready to serve, pour mixture into large pan or punch bowl. Add:
11 cups water
4 cups Sprite, chilled (1 qt. bottle)
Put 1 ice cube into each cup, or 1 tbsp. crushed ice, and fill with punch. Do not put ice cubes into punch bowl.
(This makes it so that the last person served gets no weak "ice-water punch".)
Serves 20-24.
