Categories: Beverages, Holiday
Yield: 30 Servings

16 c Water
16 c Sugar
8 qt Strawberries, w/o sugar
4 c Peach nectar
2 c Fresh orange juice
1 c Fresh lemon juice
8 qt Club soda
3 qt Club soda, frozen in cubes

boil sugar and water for 5 minutes or until a sugar syrup forms. cool and
set aside. (you may or may not use all or any of this syrup depending on
how sweet you want your punch.) put 3 quarts of club soda in a ice cube
trays and freeze. pour peach nectar, orange juice and lemon juice into the
largest mixing bowl you have. as you stir begin adding syrup until you get
a strong sweet/sour flavor. you must have this base in order for the mix to
stand up to being cut with the club soda. when it is strong enough and yet
carries a light lemon flavor stop adding syrup. pour into containers and
refrigerate. at party time pour one quart into the punch bowl and cut with
1 1/2 to 2 bottles of club soda. add a generous amount of frozen soda
cubes. float about 2 quarts of berries in the punch for decoration.
