Bucket Punch

Put 10 pounds of ice cubes in a large canning pot about four hours before you want to serve the punch. Dump on top and mix in juice, cherries and vodka. It looks dreadful for about three hours, lumps of ice and lumps of frozen juice. The pot gets covered in a thick layer of frost rather quickly, so don't set it out on a nice surface unless the bottom is well insulated. All of a sudden, it turns into punch. Stir it a few times during the four hours. BTW, don't refrigerate this while it's making.
