Ingredients

• 4 cups white sugar
• 6 cups water
• 1 (46 fluid ounce) can pineapple juice
• 5 bananas
• 4 (6 ounce) cans frozen orange juice concentrate
• 2 (6 ounce) cans frozen lemonade concentrate
• 2 ½ (2 liter) bottles lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage (such as 7-Up®)
• 2 oranges, sliced for garnish

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine water and sugar in a large pot; bring to a boil. Cook and stir until the sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Cool in the refrigerator.

Step 2

Put 1 banana and about 1 cup pineapple juice in a blender; blend until smooth. Repeat until all bananas are pureed into pineapple juice; stir into the pot with the simple syrup. Add orange juice concentrate and lemonade concentrate to the pot; stir. Divide the mixture into smaller containers and freeze until mostly solid.

Step 3

Put frozen mixture into a large punch bowl. Thaw until slushy, but stirrable. Stir lemon-lime carbonated beverage into the punch bowl. Garnish with orange slices.
