A word about ice rings:

Before you decide which non-alcoholic punch recipe to use, consider the décor for your party. The ice ring for your punch is there to keep your punch nice and chilled. You can make an ice ring with a simple wreath-shaped Jell-o mold and include punch ingredients, or you can choose a frozen garnish in place of the ring. As you consider various Non-Alcoholic Punch Recipes, also think about the garnish included and how that will look with your home or venue as the backdrop to your party.
