Slush/Punch Recipe needed

Dear friends in bloggy land--
I am in need of a slush/punch to serve at a going away party for Jared's boss. I'd like to be able to put it in a punch bowl and serve it from there-- but will need to serve about 150 people. Any suggestions for something easy yet wonderful??

Thanks ahead of time!

6 c. water
3 c. sugar
1 sm. pkg jello
3 c. pineapple juice
6 T. lemon juice (bottled kind)

Bring water and sugar to boil. Remove from heat and add jello. Add pineapple juice and lemon juice. Freeze. Stir often while freezing.
Serve with sprite or 7-up. Green or red jellos are best (I have only had it with lime jello). 1 can of pineapple juice makes 2 batches.

Easy Lime Punch
1 can (46 oz) pinapple juice
2 pkg. lemon-lime Koolaid
1 C. Sugar

Mix the ingredients. Then add enough water to make a total of a gallon. Freeze. When ready to serve, mash up and serve with sprite.

Lemon Water
4 qt. Water (1 gallon)
2 C. sugar
1 T. lemon extract
1 tsp. Citric acid (buy at your local pharmacy)
1 qt. Ice
lemon slices on top

Mix water, sugar, lemon extract and citric acid. Serve with ice and lemon slices.

Pineapple Sherbet Drink
½ gal. Sherbet (a solid color, not rainbow)
½ gal vanilla
1 really large can pineapple juice

Soften sherbet and icecream. Mix and Freeze. When ready to serve, mix with sprite.

Slush
5 C. Sugar, dissolve with water (just enough to dissolve sugar)
5 mashed bananas
1 large orange concentrate
5 oranges-squeeze
2 lemons-squeeze
1 really large can pineapple juice
1 qt. Apricot nectar

Mix together. Freeze. When ready to serve mash with a potato masher and mix with sprite. (a good way to freeze it is in empty milk cartons, then you can just cut the carton off with a knife).

Thanksgiving Drink
2 cans limeade concentrate
2 cans lemonade concentrate
2 cans orange juice concentrate
Limes, Lemons, oranges, bananas
Sprite

Mix concentrates together. Add 1 gallon water. Add sprite to taste. Float cut up limes, lemons, oranges, and bananas on top. Add more sprite to make last longer, or as needed.

I can also vouch that the slush from the meat market is really good.

Good luck. I would freeze in empty, clean milk cartons and slice off tops when ready to remove. Also a really good way to mash up the sluch once frozen is a potato masher.
