A little less formal than the strawberry punch posted, but with a nice bite, is a fruit punch my mother started making when I was a child and I have since adapted. It can change according to what's available at the time of year. As we don't drink soft drinks in our house, it's rare for us to have lots floating aound so I improvise. The ginger beer or ale is the only essential. It's what gives the punch an indefinable bite that will have guests guessing what's in there for hours.
