Dads’ Gather Around Christmas Punch

December 19, 2006 / / 0 Comments

Background:

“This is a great crowd pleaser punch. ‘Retro’ to youngsters but a staple at every Christmas party in my family since the early ’60’s. The ‘Dads’ gather around the punch bowl and ‘taste-test’ the first batch before anyone else is allowed to partake.”

Recipe Source: LabRescuer / allrecipes.com

Prep/Cooking Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

1 (750 milliliter) bottle vodka
1 (46 fluid ounce) can grapefruit juice
1 (46 fluid ounce) can pineapple juice
1 (2 liter) bottle lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage
2 trays ice cubes, or an ice ring

Directions:

In a swanky punch bowl (a MUST), combine the vodka, grapefruit juice, pineapple juice, lemon-lime soda and ice, or ice ring. This punch is too good for the little punch glasses that come with the punch bowl so use your highball glasses, stand around the punch bowl and have a good time!
