Alcoholic/Nonalcoholic Punch Ideas
I need some ideas for an alcoholic & non alcoholic punch. I would prefer the same ingredients to cut down on costs. I also would prefer if the ideas that I get are for large quantities (5gallons) but I want to be able to sample this with my bridesmaids so I`ll need a "cut down" version. Also, how many days in advance can these punches be made? Please help, I hope this isn`t too confusing.

I wouldn`t make the punch more than one day ahead, it will not taste the same, or if you are using a carbonated ingredient like Sprite or gingerale, don`t add that until right before it is to be served.
We are having an outdoor wedding and cannot afford very much so we are doing the same type of thing. I found a great drink at a local restaurant, very tropical. It has OJ, Pineapple juice, grenadine (cherry flavor), banana liquor, and coconut rum. We are making it into a punch using coconut juice and banana flavored syrup instead with regular rum on the side to add in to the drinks if they want the alcohol.
