Pineapple Pizazz

Wed, 23 Apr 2003 20:04:37 -0400

I absolutely love pineapple! I was fooling around in the kitchen one day and I thought pineapples might taste good with orange juice and banana. I also added some ice to make it more like a smoothie. -- posted by Karly V

Jamaican Rum Punch

Please note that this recipe has been edited since it was reviewed. If you like Screwdrivers and Tequila Sunrises, you'll probably love this drink! You'll be asking yourself one question, "But why is the rum gone?!" (Sorry, couldn't resist a Pirates of the Caribbean quote!) I modified it from a recipe I found on DIYnet.com. -- posted by Kree

St Vincent Rum Punch

Wed, 17 Oct 2007 01:32:31 -0400

This is a classic rum punch recipe that follows the 1 of sour, 2 of sweet, 3 of strong and 4 of weak formula. The way it is served makes it uniquely St Vincent, or maybe it's just that my parents had a fridge that made crushed ice! For whatever reason, this punch makes me think of St Vincent. I told my Caribbean friends that I made a mean rum punch and I don't think they believed me. After tasting it they all decided that we had to use this recipe at our next steelpan performance. (check out my website link for band news.) This makes a very strong drink that gets progressively weaker. See the note at the bottom of the recipe. -- posted by RonaNZ

I made this for New Years eve this year, and it was a big hit, I think I will make it more often than just once a year from now on! We serve it out of one of those big refrigerator pour spout containers. Cook time is chill time. -- posted by Candace Michelle

St. Vincent Rum Punch

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 19:10:25 -0400

I spent quite a bit of time living on the island of St. Vincent in the West Indies and picked up this Rum Punch recipe from the Grand View Hotel there. I cut the ingredients in half as the original recipe was for a huge quantity. Also, the amount of rum and water was unclear. I interpreted the rum to water ratio as 1 part rum to 2 parts water since the original recipe does not quantify an actual amount of either. If you use a normal size bottle of rum and double the amount for the water, you should be fine. It takes a few days to make, but is definitely worth the effort. -- posted by Green Cuisine

Paula Deen's Spiked Cranberry Lemonade

My best friend made this recipe for a summer picnic and it went down too smoothly! A great alcoholic punch for any warm weathered gathering. This recipe is courtesy of Paula Deen's magazine, issue May/June 2008. -- posted by TheDancingCook

Cranberry Cornucopia Sangria

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 23:06:32 -0500

Adapted from "Peterson's Holiday Helper," by Valerie Peterson (Clarkson Potter, 2008). This is a blend of all the favorite holiday flavors, not really a true sangria. You can use a sparkling cider or grape juice, or even a champagne if you'd like to. Cherries are an excellent addition to this drink as well. This is best left to sit for overnight to let the flavors blend well. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Sat, 28 Feb 2009 02:17:25 -0500

Adapted from "Cooking Up a Storm," by Marcelle Bienvenu and Judy Walker. If you want to make a Cuban version of this drink, substitute dark rum for the brandy or Bourbon. Found in the Tribune's Food & Drink Weekly Guide. -- posted by Buster's friend
