Grandma’s frozen fruit punch with orange, banana, and pineapple is a family favorite and has been served at many weddings over the years. Make it ahead of time and keep in the freezer, then thaw and add lemon-lime soda.
I only requested one thing to be served at our wedding reception. Everything else just a bonus. That one thing was my Grandma Eva’s frozen fruit punch. She made it for Christmas dinners, Thanksgiving, my aunt’s weddings, and usually had a mason jar or two of it in her freezer for special occasions. I love that it uses fresh bananas. Many punch recipes only include fruit juice, but the blended bananas add a creaminess to the punch that sets it apart.
I asked her for the recipe, but somehow over the years and changing computers, etc. the file became corrupted and I couldn’t open it. So I turned to my aunt and she gave me the recipe. Now I can make it for my family, and it is just as good as I remember it being. Refreshing, tangy, and fizzy.
The recipe is basically equal parts of all juices and then mix with 7-up, but for a reference, I shared the measurements that I used the last time that I made it. Make it the night before you plan on serving it so that it has time to freeze. Then let it thaw on the counter until it is slushy and break it up with a spoon. Serve with equal parts lemon lime soda for the most refreshing fruit punch EVER.

Because you are using equal parts of juice and soda, you can customize this recipe to suit your needs. 1 serving = 1 cup, so you can get at least 12 servings from the measurements above.Can you use juice concentrate?
You can use frozen concentrated juices, even blended ones (orange and pineapple). I like using orange juice (concentrate or fresh from the refrigerator section) and canned 100% pineapple juice, found in the juice aisle at the grocery store.Can you use something other than lemon lime soda in this recipe?
Ginger ale would be fantastic as well as grapefruit sodas.Nutrition
