In a large saucepan, add just enough water to sugar to dissolve it and bring to a boil. Pour into 5-Gallon mixing container (I use a bucket). Add orange juice, lemonade, pineapple juice and almond extract. Add enough water to fill the 5-gallon container and mix well. Pour into plastic containers (Ice cream buckets work great). Freeze mixture. Set frozen mixture out 1-2 hours. Remove from container into large bowl or pan. Mash with potato masher or mixer. Mix with ginger ale to whatever consistency you wish. After mashing up the frozen mixture it can be placed back in plastic containers in freezer for several hours and then take out and it is ready to mix with the ginger ale.
