Really simple would be best. (I have nothing against opening tins and bottles.)
Thank you for your suggestions.

FRUIT PUNCH This is an old recipe that Mum frequently made a half quantity of at Christmas time – It can easily be made alcoholic by the addition of a bottle of gin (to the full recipe!) – actually I recall Mum making half of the brew for us “kids” and it was made clear to us that the other half was definitely for the grown-ups only!
2•4 litres (½ gallon) cold tea, strained 900g (2 lbs) sugar juice of 12 lemons, well strained 2•4 litres (½ gallon) grapefruit juice 2 x 450g (16oz) cans pineapple juice 750 ml fruit cup or mixed fruit juice 1•2 litres (2 pints) lemonade 4•2 litreslitres dry ginger ale
Boil the sugar and strained tea, then allow it to cool.Add the remaining ingredients, adding the, preferably chilled, lemonade and gingerale last.
Hope that helps.:-))

This is the recipe my friend Rachel gave me -hence the name. It has been well circulated on this MB and gets good reviews
Rachel’s Punch 1 litre strong tea 1 cup sugar 1 or 2 cups cordial (lemon, lime or orange) - I use Roses Lime Cordial from the supermarket - put it in undiluted. 3 litres fruit juice (orange, grapefruit, pineapple) Allow to cool.
3 litres lemonade 3 litres gingerale TOTAL = 10 litres or 50 glasses
Make the tea, and after about 20 mins pour onto 1 cup sugar, and stir till sugar is dissolved. Add the cordial and fruit juices. Chill this mixture in two containers of equal amounts. When ready pour one container of mixture into punch bowl (or large mixing bowl) adding 1.5L of chilled lemonade and gingerale. Make up the second 'batch' when ready. You could make up the whole amount if you have a large enough bowl/bucket!

Also, I have purchased a bucket for making punch and ginger beer in. And have written it on the side, so if any one see that I am making their drinks in a bucket, they know if haven't just used it to wash the floors

Good idea, Duckmoon - we purchased a white nappy bucket WITH LID especially for making ginger beer in. No flies in it when left overnight.
Some very good ideas here, thank you, keep them coming. Simpler the better.

I kind of cheat but it is simple! I buy 3 ltr bottles of tropical punch etc add some orange juice (carton or made up raro ) and add a bottle of gingerale (or lemonade if thats what I have) when its time to serve! Slice some oranges or lemons etc for on top. Always tastes nice and looks good too.

my sister in law gave me punch base recipe, it's nice. Ruth’s Hawaiian Fruit Punch 1 tin fruit salad 3 ripe bananas 10 mint leaves Process these 3 ingredients in a blender adding enough orange juice to make 2 litres of fruit pulp. Pour into an ice cream container & freeze. On the day you need it, take out & place in a punch bowl, leaving to thaw. Pour over top more orange juice, lemonade &/or ginger ale.

If you have a grapefruit tree, freeze grapefruit juice in a container (margarine size container), put the frozen juice into a punch bowl, add fresh mint, pour in 1.5l lemonade and gingerale.simple and yummy!
