"I first had this at the senior citizens center when I worked there. Lots of Grannies there who loved it, therefore, the name. It was the very best non alcoholic beverage I have ever had.I think the author may be Judith Smith."

This is a very nice punch. I like it a little sweeter though, so added more sugar. I've made it twice in a large pitcher. Thanks for the recipe.
