Pour half of the concentrates and half of the apple juice into each of 2 large punch bowls. Stir half of the ginger ale into each bowl. Spoon in sherbet or add ice rings.

Serve immediately. Makes 150 (½ cup) servings

Ice rings: Arrange thin overlapping slices of lime, orange and lemon in a ring mold. Pour water into mold to partially cover fruit (¼ inch); freeze. When frozen, add more water to fill mold ¾ full; freeze. Unmold and float fruit side up. For a crystal clear ice ring, boil and cool water before pouring into mold or use bottled water. For a more colorful ring, add about 1/3 cup cranberries or alternate fruit slices and whole strawberries.
