Pour mixture into large decorative punch bowl, over Garden Ice (recipe below). Top with chilled ginger ale and stir gently. Garnish with sliced lemons, limes and oranges and thinly sliced ripe strawberries. Add a blueberry or two for anti-oxidation purposes. Serve and enjoy!
For Garden Ice:
• Fill a one-quart, clean plastic container halfway with water (think take-out wonton soup here). Drop in a handful of fresh mint leaves. Cover and freeze overnight. When ready to use, run the outside of container under warm water. Place ice block flat side down in punch bowl.

Cool cocktails (though why is the Patriots punch red when their main color is blue? Anyway it sounds like a nice punch!).
