Red-Wine Wassail

Sun, 25 Nov 2001 13:36:01 -0500

This is a great way to serve wassail for a group of good friends; the apples are a terrific addition but not necessary, and the recipe is easily halved. If you have leftover wassail, reheat it gently in the microwave. -- posted by Lennie

Southern Eggnog

Tue, 04 Dec 2001 13:07:32 -0500

Atholl Brose

Sun, 24 Feb 2002 09:24:10 -0500

Atholl Brose has been famous since 1475 when the Duke of Atholl captured his enemy the Earl of Ross by filling a well, from which the Earl liked to drink, with this magical potion. Ross (not surprisingly) drank deeply and was captured. As to what became of the rest of the well contents... because this took place in Scotland it seems very unlikely that it was wasted! -- posted by Mille®

Sugar Free Punch

Mon, 08 Apr 2002 21:41:07 -0400

A Sugar Free Punch that a Type 1 diabetic could drink all day long without having to take extra insulin. People with diabetes will just love you for thinking of THEM! Especially any diabetic child like mine. Do you realize a Type 1 diabetic can eat only at certain times of the day and only a certain amount of carbohydrates? Hopefully my daughter will go on the insulin pump this summer so things do not have to be so rigid for her. -- posted by Charlotte J

Our Christmas get togethers start off with this punch. The first Christmas I served this punch:It was not until clean up time that I realized I didn't add the ginger ale. No one knew the difference.

Feuerzangenbowle has a long tradtion in our family. We used this recipe now for years and we don't change it. Feuerzangenbowle will be made every year at least once. Invite good friends, sit around the table with the Feuerzangenbowle on it, talk, laugh and enjoy the company of good friends. Very communicative and festive.

This is a great non-alcoholic punch for the whole family. (Although, you can add alcohol if you want.) We always had it every New Years Eve right at mid-night when I was growing up... it's a tradition. Even your kids can make it, it's so simple and tasty!! -- posted by ShortyTheChileHead

Smooth Champagne Punch

Tue, 27 Dec 2005 13:42:48 -0500

Here's a good hint, freeze the Chambord, Triple Sec, brandy and pineapple juice, it will not freeze to solid because of the alcohol, it will have the texture of a slushy and will keep the punch cold longer! Plan ahead the mixture needs to chill for a minimum of 5 hours or overnight. -- posted by KITTENCAL

Winter Wassail

Wed, 01 Nov 2006 20:49:07 -0500

Wassail comes from the Anglo-Saxon toast "waes hael" or be whole". The first carols were Yuletide drinking songs and singers caroled their neighbourhoods carrying their wassail bowls with them. That was just to get you into the spirit, now down to business. I have no idea how many servings you'll get. When I make this I don't use any alcohol and I serve small amounts to younger children (diluted with apple juice) while the men bring big coffee mugs (with their own spirit base). -- posted by Annacia

Santa's Kiss Christmas Punch

My friend Randy came up with this drink, and I have no idea why he calls it that. Ill have to ask him :) Its as delicious as it is fun to make and drink! This works really well for having along at a campout, where everybody will be sitting around eating, talking, and drinking in a circle. Use whatever fruit you like, but try to include something like watermelon that releases juice easily. -- posted by Uncle Dobo

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

Holiday Wassail With Alcohol

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 00:43:35 -0400

This is the most amazing tasting Wassail. It's perfect for a holiday party or a cold winter night. Its like drinking hot apple pie that warms your tummy and lifts your spirits. Although its a big undertaking to cook, you wont be disappointed, especially when everyone is complimenting you on making something that tastes so delicious. Make sure you serve it warm. Because this takes a while to put together, I usually make it the night before and pour the mixture into bottles/containers so I can transport it easily. I guessed at the number of servings but its always been enough for the parties I've been to where there have been 25 or more people. -- posted by LexiGirl 2

Prohibition Classic Cocktail

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 02:35:25 -0500

You can add some soda to this if you need to, but this is no bathtub cocktail! During Prohibition you cannot waste your time drinking a lighter drink. Lillet is a blend of rigorously selected wines and fruit liqueurs, aged in oak vats for around 12 months. Lillet Blanc has a golden color with candied orange, honey, pine resin, lime and fresh mint aromas. This is the stuff in the James Bond cocktails like the Vesper. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

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

Sardo Punch

Tue, 10 Mar 2009 14:53:18 -0400

Mirto means myrtle in English. The myrtle bush has small pointy leaves,and dark berries similar to wild huckleberries.I don't know exactly what's in mirto, I think that the term is used interchangably for foods flavored with the leaves or the berries. From Healthy Italian Hors dOeuvres published in the October 2008 edition of F&W Magazine. They say that Amaro means bitter in Italian & the quintessential after dinner cordial ;) so a punch made with it can't be bad. Saw this recipe and am putting it here for safekeeping. Watch out it can be lethal!!! -- posted by Manami

The Best Party Punch Ever!

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 10:12:51 -0400

This recipe will make enough green punch to fill an average size punch bowl. If you are entertaining a large number of people and feel that you need to make more, just multiply all of the ingredients, with the exception of the sherbet. Recently I made this punch for my nephew's first birthday party. To serve aprrox. 50 guests, I multiplied the recipe by 4. Results vary depending on the size of the cups. To change the color of the punch, substitute a different flavor of Kool-aid with a MATCHING color of sherbet. (The two colors must match, othewise, the punch will turn brown.) -- posted by BeanPole

Frozen Festive Vodka or Tequila Bottles With Herbs and Berries

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 17:05:20 -0500

Another GREAT Jamie Oliver recipe, and one that I am preparing for New Year's Eve! Jamie says you can use any spirits or liquor, but he suggestes vodka and tequila in his recipe. These bottles look SO festive and pretty, I plan to use holly, berries, bay leaves, fruit slices, ivy and woody herbs for my bottles this year. DO check that the liquor bottle fits INSIDE the plastic water bottle first! This recipe idea for serving liquor originates from Scandinavia. (Prep time is for freezing the bottles.) -- posted by French Tart
