I’ve been experimenting with some punch recipes in preparation for an upcoming party and good news, I think I’ve found it!  I originally drank the “orange dream” without alcohol and just loved it — it’s basically a liquid creamsicle.

• 1/2 gallon orange sherbet

• 1 (6 ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate

• 1 (2 liter) bottle ginger ale

Look how delicious that is, like a layer cake you can drink.  But I’ll be damned if I show up to a party with non-alcoholic punch, no matter how good it tastes. This weekend, I made the recipe but added in a scoop of vanilla ice cream and 9 oz of cointreau.  The taste is amazing but lacked a kick so I added another six oz of liquor – that did the trick!  Anyway, if you’re looking for a refreshing orange drink that will get you hammered, this is a good way to go!
