Help! I waited till the last minute

Anyone gave any good recipes for a red punch? I'm throwing a friend a shower and completely forgot about the drinks! Something simple and relatively cheap would be great!

    This is simple, though you need to have time for it to freeze. It's not necessary, but it sure adds an extra special touch:

    Ingredients

    • 2 1/2 cups white sugar
    • 6 cups water
    • 2 (3 ounce) packages strawberry flavored gelatin mix
    • 1 (46 fluid ounce) can pineapple juice
    • 2/3 cup lemon juice
    • 1 quart orange juice
    • 2 (2 liter) bottles lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage

    Directions

    1. In a large saucepan, combine sugar, water, and strawberry flavored gelatin. Boil for 3 minutes. Stir in pineapple juice, lemon juice, and orange juice. Divide mixture in half, and freeze in 2 separate containers.
    2. When ready to serve, place the frozen contents of one container in a punch bowl, and stir in 1 bottle of lemon-lime soda until slushy.
    When in doubt, I use allrecipes.com.
