Oh, my gosh...that's my mom's old punch recipe! And it's the BEST!!! Have you

been spying on her???? <folds arms across chest and taps foot impatiently>

She's been making it for 40 some years, and I have NEVER in my 46 years of

living--never ever--seen any one else make it or publish it anywhere, heehee.

Too funny! <grins>

 

 

Here are a couple of variations geared toward diabetics or those seeking to

lower their sugar intake. (I invented them out of necessity since I missed her

punch soooooooooooo much!):

 

Celia's Diabetic-friendly Punch:

 

1 Large can of Orange Juice Concentrate, thawed

1 Liter of Sugar Free Ginger Ale

1 Large Bottle of Low Sugar Cranberry Juice

 

 

Celia's " Jungle Juice " (Alcoholic drink for adult parties!!!)

 

WARNING: Deceptively good but very potent drink--guaranteed to leave your guests

staggering!

 

1 Large can of Orange Juice Concentrate, thawed

1 Liter of Sugar Free Ginger Ale

1 Large Bottle of Low Sugar Cranberry Juice

1/2 Gallon of Vodka*

 

*Unlike when I serve a martini or mixed drink when I would use Absolute or Sky

Vodka, I use cheap ol' Mohawk for the punch. Why? It comes in a 1/2 gallon

plastic jug that costs under $15.00 and when it's mixed with all that stuff, no

one can tell the difference anyway!

 

Enjoy!
