Amy's Easy Pleasin' Punch

I volunteered to make the punch for Mr. Steady's family Christmas. Six gallons of it and we ran out! I plan on making at least 10 gallons next year.
Everyone just raved about the punch and wanted me to share my recipe- they all thought it was something "extra special". Really it tastes quite yummy but isn't that hard to make at all!
I like a punch that's a bit tart and yet still sweet. I start with a gallon jug of Hawaiian Punch- I used the Green Tropical for Christmas (but have used the blue at other times). I have a huge enamel beverage jug that I make it in usually so that I can then add two 2 liter bottles of store brand Grapefruit Soda. But on Christmas I used my SIL's punch bowl and it wouldn't hold as much so I put in half the punch and one 2 liter of soda.
I then topped it off with a frozen fruit blend I picked up at Aldi's. (No ice cubes needed and extra yummy!) On Christmas when I ran out of the frozen fruit I just added a bag of frozen cranberries- it looked so lovely and such Christmas colors!
And that's it!
So here's what you need:
1 gallon Hawaiian Punch (your choice of flavor- I prefer the green or the blue)
2- 2 liters Grapefruit Soda
1 bag frozen fruit (optional)
Stir and enjoy!
Super saver note: I purchase the punch when it's on sale- I've gotten for $1.50 and the soda pop I get no name brand- 3 for $2. If you've got a spot to store it- you'll always have some on hand!
