Raspberry Mint Cooler

Recipe from Jacey Sakoff

1 to 2 cups fresh mint leaves
5 cups pineapple juice
2 cups fresh raspberries (can use frozen)
1 can frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
1 (32 oz) bottle (32 oz) Sprite or 7-Up
1 lime for garnish

Rub mint leaves around sides of pitcher then drop into pitcher.  Combine pineapple juice, raspberries, and limeade and add to pitcher.  Chill in refrigerator until ready to use.  Add 7-Up to limeade mixture when ready to serve.  (If use frozen raspberries have some fresh on hand to add to the top of the glass.)

Can also freeze a batch (minus soda) beforehand in circular mold to make ice-mold to float in punch.  Helps keep punch cold plus adds to the presentation.

 Can add champagne.
