Tropical Slush Punch

This fruity punch is a huge hit at any party or gathering! It is also wonderful 'spiked' with any alcohol for the grown-up guests. Enjoy!

Tropical Slush Punch
----------------------
6 cups water
5 large ripe bananas
2 cups sugar
2 cans (12 oz. each) frozen orange juice concentrate
1 can (12 oz) frozen lemonade concentrate
46 oz. can pineapple juice
3 2-Liter bottles Lemon-Lime Soda (such as Sprite)


In a blender, puree bananas, sugar, lemonade concentrate, orange juice concentrates, and 1 cup water until liquified. Pour into a large punch bowl. Stir in remaining 5 cups water and pineapple juice until blended. Cover punch bowl with plastic wrap and freeze for several hours or overnight. Pull punch bowl out of freezer 30 mins. before serving to slightly thaw. Mash frozen mixture up with a large wooden spoon or potato masher. Add sprite and stir well. Serve immediately. Makes 24-48 servings, depending on size of cups.
*You can also mix in any alcohol desired when mixing in the sprite (depending on how much alcohol is used, you may want to cut down on the amount of Sprite used so it doesn't get too watered down) I have a friend that spiked this with banana liquor and vodka and said it was wonderful!
