Having a holiday party?
Don’t these look tasty?
Enjoy!
Holiday Punch
1 bottle good quality fruity white wine, like pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc
1/4 cup orange liqueur
1 medium peaches, washed, pitted and sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup strawberries, washed, hulled and sliced
1 orange, thinly sliced
1 cup green grapes, halved
1 cup bing cherries, pitted and halved
Ice
fresh mint sprigs for garnish (optional)
simple syrup (see below; you’ll need water and sugar)
In a large pitcher, mix the white wine and orange liqueur. Add the peaches, strawberries, orange slices, grapes and cherries. Stir all to combine. Refrigerate 2 hours.
To make a simple syrup, boil about one and a half cups water and stir in enough sugar to sweeten to taste. Stir often and reduce down to about half, or until you have about a cup of syrup, 5-8 minutes. Cool completely.
Stir in the simple syrup prior to serving and sweeten to taste. Serve over ice and garnish with fresh mint if desired.
White Sangria with Pomegranate
1 bottle white wine
3 cans 7up or Sprite
Grand Marnier (I didn’t measure, a few ounces I think)
Seeds of 1 pomegranate
slices of two limes
ice
Pour all ingredients into a punch bowl. Wait for the seeds to float.
Serve.
Peach Lemonade
Puree the peaches and lemonade in a blender until smooth.
2 medium sized, ripe peaches, peeled, halved and pitted
1/2 cup lemonade
1 ounce vodka of choice
Pour vodka over ice in a rocks glass. Top off with peach-lemonade puree.
Adult Root Beer Float
Adult Root Beer Float
Makes 1
Root beer
2 ounces vanilla vodka (See our DIY recipe here!)
2 scoops vanilla ice cream
Fill glass halfway with root beer and add vanilla vodka. Stir and then add ice cream scoops. Top off with more root beer if needed.
Personally…I’m going for the root beer float.
Happy Friday!
