Citrus Banana Punch

Cheri Clotiaux Stringer (originally from Austin American-Statesman)

This punch is absolutely addictive! It was a city-wide favorite in Austin during the ’70s largely because the then-governor’s wife, Janey Briscoe, sang its praises in the Austin American-Statesman. You’ll find yourself drinking too much of this, but fortunately those special occasions (weddings, showers, etc.) don’t come around too often. (Dec 1996)

1 (6oz) can frozen lemonade, thawed

1 (12oz) can frozen orange juice, thawed
