1. Mix all of the liquid in a large punch bowl or in several pitchers.
2. Add the concentrate lemonade once is has thawed for about 10 minutes.
3. Add the fruit and refrigerate the punch for about an hour or until sufficiently cool. 
4. Add ice right before setting out the punch to avoid the ice from melting and watering down the mixture.

One of the most appealing surprises of this punch is the way in which the fruit soaks up some of the cocktail mixture, adding a fun and tasty garnish to every cupful.

Lemon Drop Recipe
This refreshing cocktail can be served as a shot or a martini, depending on the type of party you are throwing.

Ingredients (for each cocktail)

• 1 oz citrus vodka
• 1 oz lemon juice
• 2 oz lemon lime soda
• 2 sugar cubes or packets of sugar
• 1 slice of lemon for garnish
• ice.

Directions:

1. Shake all of the liquids with ice in a martini shaker for about 30 seconds to thoroughly mix and properly chill the mixture.
2. Strain the liquid into a shot glass or a martini glass that has a sugared rim (to sugar the rim, run a lemon wedge around the entire circumference of the rim. Run the rim, upside down, through a pile of sugar).
3. Slice the lemon slice up the middle, leaving the peel in tact, and dip it in the sugar. Fit the slice onto the rim of the glass for garnish.

If you are serving the lemon drop as a shot, leave the sugared lemon wedge on the side for people to suck on once they have had their drink. The sugared lemon makes a nice chaser for the booze.
