Hot Spiced Holiday Punch

Mon, 03 Nov 2008 23:40:35 -0500

Sipping on a warm mug of this always feels like a holiday to me! Starting with Thanksgiving, through Christmas, and ending on New Year's Day, I always start any holiday gathering with this treat, and just keep it warm in the crockpot all day long. It is fabulous. -- posted by JackieOhNo!

Cointreau Fruit Punch

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 15:22:48 -0500

While looking thru my holiday recipes, I came across an old favorite. Totally forgot about this one. I'm adding it to my beverage collection so I don't forget it again. This makes a great Adult Punch. I've made an ice ring with the cranberry juice in a jello ring and add it to the punch before serving. Keeps it from getting watered down and looks pretty in a punch bowl. This has Contreau in it, but you can use OJ or even Triple Sec. Whichever you prefer. Half the recipe for 4 servings easily. -- posted by Vseward (Chef~V)

Almond Tofu

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 22:36:50 -0500

This is a very popular dessert dish in Asian countries. It's easy, simple, and refreshing! It doesn't actually use tofu, but it's white and cubed, which resembles tofu, hence its name. Give it a try, I have shared this with many of my non-Asian friends and they all loved it and gave rave reviews! -- posted by Cabnolen

Prohibition Party Punch

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 19:25:02 -0500

This recipe is from an old cookbook I found. Homemade wine or beer was legal as long as it contained no more than one-half per cent alcohol. From Every Woman's Cook Book by Mrs. Chas. F. Moritz (1926) p. 617. If you can find a bootlegger in your area, I think some rum or whiskey would really perk this up. This recipe makes a LOT! Please keep this in mind when preparing this party punch for your local Speakeasy :) -- 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

Lychee Lime Sparkler

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 19:05:16 -0500

From the 'New Idea: ultimate barbecue cookbook'. I haven't made this yet but it sounds SO delicious and what a nifty way of getting juice and zest into the drink without having to grate the limes! Sounds also like a great Christmas Day - or any other festive occasion - drink and particularly a welcome cooling drink on a hot day, whether it's served at a BBQ or indoors! -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Years ago Mom compiled a family cook book for my eldest sister when she went off to college. What has become of the final version I don't know, needless to say its gone. However I've got Mom's notes. I'm attempting to save these recipes by posting them here. Any of Mom's special notes I'll include in parenthesis. But needless to say some of these are not complete recipes. Enjoy! I haven't made this in a long time so the yield and and cook times are based purely on my memories. *The prep time and cooking time do not include cooling times: usually about a hour. -- posted by isispleiades

Pink Palace Punch (With or Without Alcohol)

Sun, 08 Feb 2009 10:03:57 -0500

I made this yummy pink punch for my daughter's 5th birthday party last year. We had a Princess theme. It was a big hit with everyone. For the adults, you can just add a little rum or vodka directly to their glasses and stir. Malibu Rum is especially good in this. I made fruit punch ice cubes which looked really pretty floating around in the punch. -- posted by Realtor by day, Chef by night

Ruby Relaxer - Ruby Tuesday Copycat

Sun, 22 Feb 2009 15:49:04 -0500

This light and fruity drink is perfect for sipping on a summer afternoon. An undeniable girly drink (not to say that guys should not enjoy it as well), it has no taste of alcohol, nor the cloying aftertaste that some overly sweet drinks have. This recipe can easily be multiplied to make a crowd-pleasing punch for your next shower, party, brunch, etc. The brands listed are those that Ruby Tuesday lists on their drink menu (how nice of them to tell us what is in their drink so that we can come home and make it ourselves!) -- posted by Oenophilly

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

This is really refreshing on a hot day. I'm sure you could add rum to make this an interesting cocktail although I've only tried the non-alcoholic version! This drink is best when made with newly-opened sparkling water, to get the most fizz out of it! Cook time is chill time. -- posted by Shuzbud

This is my all-time favorite summer drink. Very refreshing. If you prefer, the tea can be prepared and chilled 1 day ahead (Step 4), just cover and keep chilled in the refrigerator. Or you can cheat (which is what I do), and place the tea mixture in the freezer for about an hour, and then continue on with the recipe. I'm too impatient to wait three hours for this drink. -- posted by dripdripsplat

This is a very simple, quick recipe that I put together with what I happened to have available. The result is quite tasty!

Feel free to sub any other type of fruit according to season or taste, and where possible use liqueurs that match. -- posted by AdriMicina

This festive drink was inspired by the classic dessert of rum-drenched, caramelized bananas topped with ice cream. To make a virgin version, add an extra one-fourth cup milk and one-half teaspoon rum extract in place of the rum. Cooking Light, November 2007.

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

This recipe came to mind when I had to prepare a non-alcoholic sangria for New Year's Eve (tonight). I tried to find a recipe here, but all of them seemed to be missing something to me. (Note: cooking time is chill time) -- posted by JanieTeachGal

Party Sangria!

Fiesta drinks! If you'd like to serve right away, use chilled red wine and serve over lots of ice. However, remember that the best Sangrias are chilled around 24 hours, allowing the flavors to really marinate into each other. -- posted by Theia11
