Good Summertime Drink. Here in Louisiana, we are always looking for something good and cold to drink!! This punch is good for children's parties or adults! I made this all summer long for 18 years for my nursing home and assisted living residents. They were always asking, no begging (!), for it! Prepare ahead of time as this needs to freeze for at least 24 hours and needs to sit out of freezer for 2 to 3 hours before serving.
