Directions:
In a large punch bowl, combine the orange juice, banana daiquiri mix and lemon juice. Stir to blend. Slowly add ginger ale. Remove excess foam with a spoon and stir in Southern Comfort. Add lemonade ice ring.
Lemonade Ice Ring:
- 2 Lemons, cut in round slices
- 1 Orange, cut in round slices
- 2 Limes, cut in round slices
