Description:

Indulge in the tangy and refreshing flavors of this Banana Brunch Punch, a delightful concoction perfect for any special occasion or a hot summer day. Adapted from a cherished recipe found in Taste of Home magazine, this punch has been a favorite for over 8 years in my household.

Prepare the punch base in advance and store it in the freezer for up to a month. Simply thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before serving, then add the pineapple juice and soda just before your guests arrive.

Storage:

Leftover punch can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir well before serving as the ingredients may settle.
