Hey Amy!

I am busy unpacking (yes, still) and am discovering some treasures I had forgotten I owned, namely my punch bowl collection.  To many of you, punch bowls are an entertaining tool of the past but I love them.  I have three–two vintage and one modern–as well as a box of mix and match cups that I picked up in Philadelphia at a church rummage sale for a dollar.  I suppose three doesn’t very well a collection make but I am just beginning!  When I am entertaining, they make a lovely centerpiece of the drink area particularly if you fill it with a colorful punch.  This recipe I share today is a lovely color for a muted decor.  The bright orange is slightly toned down with the addition of the apple juice and lemonade.  The flavor is divine.

Ingredients:

1-6 oz. can frozen concentrate orange juice
1-6 oz. can frozen concentrate lemonade
36 oz. apple juice
72 oz. ginger ale

Mix concentrates and apple juice in large punch bowl.  Just before serving, stir in ginger ale.  Make sure everything is very cold before assembly.

Aunt Barb always freezes some of the punch in a jell-o mold so she doesn’t dilute the punch but is able to keep it chilled throughout the evening.  Enjoy!
