What a wonderful combination of flavors! I used the sparkling apple juice for this batch; however, I can't wait to try it with champagne. This is a great go-to beverage for a gathering and you can make a batch of each -- one for the kids or guests who prefer non-alcoholic beverages and the other batch with champagne. Made for PRMR, May, 2013.

I made a half batch of this for my Dh and I to use up a bottle of sparkling white grape juice. I loved it, it was tangy and sweet. It was just right. I would love to use it for the next time I need a punch for a gathering.

Yummy Yummy Yummy. This was so refreshing after spending a day trying to clean out the garage. I used the apple juice and shared it with my DK's. I can see this being an awesome punch recipe when added to some lime sherbert. Thanks so much for sharing. Made for Photo Tag.
