How to Store

Once you add the soda and ice cream, this punch is best served right away, so only prepare what you think you’ll need.

Serving Suggestions
I like to make this non-alcoholic punch for parties, gatherings, holidays, and even kids’ parties. I like to serve it with finger foods and snacks like pink yogurt covered pretzels, savory potato skin bites or, to keep things on the healthier side, I’ll prepare this veggie dip.

Can I freeze the banana-lemon juice-half /half mixture before using it? Obviously, letting it defrost before using. I’m looking at a way to some of the prep work ahead of time.
Hi Debbie, you can freeze this mixture, but it may discolor once thawed!
What can you use in place of bananas? This looks delicious, I would love to make this, my husband does not like bananas.
Hi Gail, any typical substitute for banana would result in this punch changing colors. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend a swap!
Oh so good
So glad you enjoyed it, Lisa!
