Chad & Sarah’s Wedding Punch

6 46 ounce cans pineapple juice
1 1/2 gallon ginger ale
6 6 ounce cans frozen lemonade

…..

Combine ingredients. This will make about three gallons of punch. It should all be refrigerated for several days before serving it as it should be very cold. After it has been mixed, just before serving, put it in buckets with a large block of ice in each bucket. Since there is no water in the punch it will not be diluted too much if the block of ice is large. Fill tall glasses three-fourths full of cold punch and fill the rest of the glass with orange sherbet. Since glasses often hold different amounts it might be wise to fill one of your tall glasses with the correct amount of punch and see how many of them could be filed from a quart of liquid. One gallon of punch will fill 16 average iced-tea glasses three fourths full so this recipe will serve about 50 glasses as the ice will melt and make a small amount more liquid.
