Ideal for backyard barbecues, tailgates, or any celebration, Trash Can Punch is the ultimate party centerpiece your guests will rave about!
Start by sanitizing a large, clean container (traditionally a new or thoroughly sanitized trash can) to safely hold your punch.
Add the gallon of fruit punch, orange juice, and pineapple juice to the container, stirring gently to combine.
Slice fresh fruit such as oranges, lemons, limes, and strawberries. Add them to the punch for color, flavor, and garnish.
Pour in the lemon-lime soda and ginger ale, mixing gently to keep the carbonation intact.
Add the vodka, rum, and triple sec to the container, stirring gently until well incorporated.
Add approximately 10 pounds of ice to chill the punch. Mix everything gently to ensure the ice is distributed evenly.
Taste-test the punch and adjust the sweetness or alcohol levels to your liking by adding more fruit juice or spirits as needed.
Serve immediately in party cups, including slices of fruit as garnish if desired.
