10 minOrange juice concentrate, limeade, lemonade, tequila, and a can of ginger ale walk into a punch bowl. The result is a bright, citrusy tequila punch that fills 12 cups and takes about as long to make as it does to describe.
The grenadine is listed as optional, but if you want the sunrise effect, a slow pour of about a quarter cup down the side of the bowl creates a gradient that goes from deep red at the bottom to golden orange at the top. Stir it in and that visual disappears, so keep it for the presentation first.
Serve over plenty of ice with lime slices on the rim. This is a Cinco de Mayo punch, a backyard barbecue punch, and a last-minute crowd solution all in one.
