Every mom needs to have a few special recipes that she is famous for. The number one that is at the top of my list is the world’s greatest slush punch! This frozen jello punch recipe!
I’ve served it my daughter’s wedding, my yearly Christmas parties, elephant themed baby shower, and as a holiday punch.
My oldest daughter loved it so much she talked me into making 18 gallons of it for her wedding. You read that right. 18 gallons! Now that’s a mama’s love right there! (Read how we threw a dream wedding for $5k here!)
People rave over this recipe! Seriously, it’s a guaranteed hit!
Ingredients
- jello powder
- boiling water

See the recipe card for quantities.

Step 2. Boil sugar and water and pour into jello.
Step 3. Cool and add lemon juice and pineapple juice to the mixture.
Step 4. Mix all together and divide mixture in separate containers for freezing.
Step 5. When ready to use, allow some time for defrosting then stir it around until you get a consistent slush and add 2 large bottles Ginger Ale.
FAQs about frozen punch
Beverage Container Ideas
If you need a large beverage container this one has the removable ice cone in the middle. It’s one of my favorite ways to serve punch. (However, honestly, you can’t dip out the fun slushy ice from this dispenser so it tastes better in a punch bowl. Your choice!)
Maybe a large punch bowl is more your style. This glass one also comes with 8 glasses, perfect for a luncheon or party!
Substitutions for this recipe
- Use any flavor jell-o but I prefer red (strawberry) or green gelatin. These are perfect for the holidays.
- Don’t use grape jello because it ends up greyish pukey-looking. Just sayin’.
- I haven’t tried it but you could give orange juice in place of the pineapple juice.
- For an adult version you could also add a shot of vodka for the perfect combination of frozen drink and a bit of alcohol. I haven’t tried this so if you do, let me know how it turns out!

Notes
Can you tell me how many servings this makes? And the 2 large bottles of Ginger Ale -are they 2 2 litter bottles?
Hi, Betty. It will probably serve 20 people or so and honestly depends if it’s a short party or a longer event. This punch is amazing and people like to drink it if they’re just standing around. The ginger ale is for 2-liter bottles but I always have an extra bottle on hand in case I’m running low on punch. Good luck!
My aunt has always made this kind of punch for showers in our community! It’s the best! Now I make it for the showers at my work and it is a huge hit every time. My favorite, in fact, is the grape version!! My aunt puts 2 cans of partially thawed grape juice (the kind that you buy frozen in the can) into the mix before you freeze it….the result is a GORGEOUS purple!!!
Hi, Alicia! I didn’t have much like with the grape version but just used the grape koolaid. I may have to try your hint sometimes soon!
This sounds amazing!! I am looking for a punch recipe that is somewhat orange/brown. I am trying to make the punch go with my colors for my wedding. They are rustic orange and ivory. The color of the punch in the picture looks like it would work. Any suggestions of what kind of jello to use to get the color I am looking for.
Marty,

I finally tracked down an affordable drinks dispenser (here in the UK we do not have such cool stuff lol) and this punch sounds delish! Have a few summer parties going on during August, so this is definitely a good time to give this a go 🙂
