Sorry, forgot to include name of the drink I posted above (first time I
post a message..lol).

so make sure that you don't drink and drive!

1 cup ginger ale
3 rounded scoops of chocolate ice cream

Add ice cream. Process until smooth.
Makes 2-1/2 cups. Serves 2

1 rounded scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream
1 cup soda water

Add ice cream.
Pour soda water slowly into glass until full.

Cranberry Punch

2 cups cranberry cocktail
2 cups orange juice
1 cup pineapple juice
2 cups ginger ale

Note: Combine first 3 ingredients and chill. Do not add ginger ale until ready to serve punch so that it doesn't go flat.

You can omit the orange juice.

Add frozen raspberries to punch as a garnish and/or make ice cubes out of cranberry cocktail and pineapple juice (red and yellow cubes) so that it doesn't water down the punch and keeps it chilled.

For the holidays, I put 2 cups cranberry cocktail and 2 cups orange juice into a bundt cake pan and froze it solid to make like a big ice cube. When frozen solid, dip pan in hot water to loosen then put big cube into punch bowl. It keeps the punch chilled for quite a while.

My sister-in-law LOVES this punch (without the orange juice) at Christmas time where she adds WINE to her glass of punch! Makes it kinda like a wine spritzer I guess.

I served this punch (with the orange juice) for the kids at Christmas time, instead of pop. Was funny how my 12 year old daughter kept asking me if I was sure there was no alcohol in this punch. The ginger ale adds a little fizz. Makes a great non-alcoholic drink!
