All of the flavors of the tropics make an appearance in this sensational, lemon-hued punch—banana, rum, pineapple, and orange. Serve this at a BBQ featuring great pork ribs.

   • 1⁄2 cup Cointreau
   • 2 cups light rum
   • 3 ounces crème de banane
   • 1 cup pink grapefruit juice
   • 2 cups fresh orange juice
   • 1⁄2 cup fresh lime juice
   • 1 cup pineapple juice
   • 36 frozen whole strawberries or raspberries
   • 3 to 4 cups ginger ale

In a large bowl, combine the Cointreau, rum, crème de banane, grapefruit juice, orange juice, lime juice, and pineapple juice. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.
