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

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

New Year's Day Punch

Fri, 05 Dec 2008 16:50:04 -0500

Southerners are known for punches and this one from Petersburg, VA is typical. The recipe came from a cookbook published many years ago by Christ and Grace Episcopal Church. The tea should be made using 6 tsp. black tea and 2 tsp. green tea. -- posted by Dan-Amer #1

Punch Slush

Sun, 07 Dec 2008 01:48:58 -0500

The flavor of this can vary greatly depending on the flavors you choose for jello and juice. Choose some favorites and give it a try. We usually use an empty ice cream bucket but you can mix it in anything that you can freeze a gallon and still remove it while frozen. -- posted by Vyrianna

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

Red Punch in a Rush

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 13:14:13 -0500

It doesn't get any easier than THIS! It's red, and the kids LOVE it. Thought it up on my own, when I needed punch for my son's party years ago. You can add other things, but it is fine as is. I served it at an adult Christmas party, and THEY liked it,too. Store brands of bottled punch and soda work every bit as well as the national brands for this punch. -- posted by AWestCoastYost

Beat Em to the Punch

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 18:44:56 -0500

This stuff LOOKS like beer, with a foamy head, but it is NON-ALCOHOLIC, with a not-too-sweet flavor. It is light and refreshing. Recipe can be greatly multiplied easily. I got it from my mother, who used to serve it all the time, and now goes for the creamy type punches. It is fast and easy to make,too. A single recipe makes about 90 ounces, or 22 half cup servings (if you have the small punch cups), and the recipe can be multiplied as many times as you like. -- posted by AWestCoastYost

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

Pink Palace Punch (With or Without Alcohol)

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

Punch With Floating Worm Ice

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 01:37:56 -0500

This was a hit at our murder mystery party. It's really supposed to be a creepy-crawly punch for Halloween gatherings because kids love the gummy worms in the ice cubes. It's super simple and a lot of fun. You could just make the ice cubes and serve it in any beverage to make it more interesting. I found the recipe on betterrecipes.com. Cook time excludes ice cube freezing time. -- posted by AmyZoe

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

being from Boston, I have always loved to drink CapeCodders. A few years ago I ran out of plain vodka so subsituted what I had and now love the drink best my new way! I have gotten my friends hooked on this ever since! -- posted by Court13

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

A refreshing beverage. Each serving is 4oz. I found this recipe in Taste Of Home magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping. -- posted by internetnut

Found this online somewhere. To you alcoholic Hitchhikers Guide fans, I say enjoy! But be warned. This is anything but "mostly harmless." -- posted by Cluich
