Hi CateC! Your question brought back some fond family memories when we were all able to get together and the following recipe was a standby for children and WINE COOLERS for adults. It will quench a thirst on a hot summer day. You can use the low sugar/diet version for all ingredients.
Children's Fruit Punch-Makes 2 Gallons
1-2 liter bottle Sprite
1-12 oz. can frozen orange juice
1 Tall Can (not frozen-from shelf) pineapple juice
2 pkgs unsweetened Tropical Punch FLavor Koolaid
2 cups sugar or Splenda
1 Gallon water-divided
Mix the first five ingredients in a gallon pitcher. Pour 1/2 into 2 separate clean milk jugs. Fill each with 1/2 gallon water and chill or serve over ice.
