Holiday Punch from Scratch



Holiday Punch

This is an elegant and delightful Punch that is so easy to make from scratch.




What you will need:                                                                   Printable Recipe
Punch Bowl or large pitcher
2 quarts grape juice (preferably your own Homemade Grape Juice)
1 can mandarine orange slices (drained)
1 bottle Canada Dry or 1 bottle of Raspberry Seltzer water

I don't like watered down punch - so instead of using ice cubes, I always make sure that the pop and juice have been chilled in the fridge prior to making the punch.  About 15 minutes before your guests arrive - simply pour all of the ingredients listed above into the punch bowl.  It is ready to drink! 
Simply lovely!




Variations:
1.  Substitute Frozen Blueberries or Frozen Raspberries for the canned oranges (this can also help keep the punch cold without watering down the punch).
2.  If you prefer a little alcohol - then subract 1 quart of grape juice and use 1 quart of wine instead.
3.  If you can find "Cranberry Canada Dry" - buy it!  It is so delicious used instead of regular Canada Dry in this recipe.

You really can't go wrong - create your own variations!




ENJOY!

  2. We used to make punch for parties when I was a kid. A lot of people in the South in those days made sherbet punch, which I didn't like. My mom made fruit punches. I loved pouring in the ginger ale to get it some fizz! Thanks for reminding me of those days!
