Hey, Longhorn!
I made some the other night when it was SOOO cold! It is so rich, though, for me, because concord grape juice is so sweet. It's definately a treat for me. I also like the Oliver Punch...apple juice and lime sherbet. It sounds unusual, but it really is good..and green for the holidays. I like mine kinda slushy.

Hey!
These all sound so yummy!

Hi Cheryl!

My "Hot Toddy" is shown in single portion, but would make a wonderful punch, if kept warm...

For this time of year ""moose Milk"" is a great seasonal punch, given the availability of eggnog...

Should you be looking at the prospect of about 100 thirsty persons coming by, you could try the following "Air Force Punch", which will seriously knock your socks off, and tastes like Cream Soda (no "burn" of liquor at all!) It also can be saved in gallon jugs for some time, as there's certainly enough "preservative" in it to hold a year or two!

Anyways, note that all measurements are Imperial ounces and pounds...

12x 25 oz bottles Canadian Rye Whiskey

3 x 25 oz bottles Brandy

2 x 25 oz bottles dry gin

2 jars maraschino cherries, and juice

4-5 lemons, 4-5 limes, 5-6 large oranges, 2 red grapefruit sliced finely into small pieces

Add 1 bottle Grenadine, 3 quarts of Gingerale, 3 x 25 oz bottles Soda water, and 4 x 25 oz bottles 7-Up, and allow to "soak" for about 4-8 hours (Note that the fruit sucks up the alcohol quite readily, making this "deadly" for the ladies!)

Add about 2-3 gallon of block ice.

Add 300 oz each of Soda Water, 7-Up, and GingerAle, mix well, and serve...

To preserve, you need to pull out the fruit residue, before bottling, I'm in favour of "pressing" it a bit...

Anyways, that my two bits worth, you can do the math to reduce the volume to more usable portions...
