Sorry to be too late in my reply, but I've been out of town and without my PC for a week. Anyway, I wanted to share a recipe that's always a hit which I recently served at a breakfast brunch that my husband and I hosted in celebration of our 35th wedding anniversary. It's my favorite all occasion fruit punch. Enjoy!
A day or two ahead, make an ice ring in a large gelatin mold using white cranberry juice, orange slices and maraschino cherries. This keeps your punch cold without diluting it as the ice ring melts. Make the punch just before serving and pour it over the ice ring. For the first batch of punch, use:
1 can frozen lemonade (prepared with cold water)
1 can frozen orange juice (prepared with cold water)
1 can chilled pineapple juice
1 bottle of chilled white cranberry juice (red juice will make your punch look muddy)
1 bottle of chilled ginger ale
As the punch gets low, add more ginger ale and any combination of the other juices you like. Every time your guests refill, they'll get a slightly different punch. If you want to spike it (for an adult crowd only), a little Puerto Rican Spiced Rum is best. I've found, though, that most folks never miss the liquor.
