MogoBlog MogoLicious Tasty Tip of the Day: Whether it’s for a big Christmas party or smaller gathering of family or friends, a batch of Grandma’s Christmas Punch will bring on the smiles … especially when you pair it with a big tray of cookies.
Grandma’s Christmas Punch
Ingredients:
-
- 1 c. granulated sugar
- 1 ½ c. water
- 4 c. orange juice
- 1 (46 oz.) can pineapple juice
- 1 (10 oz.) jar maraschino cherries and the juice
- 2 liter bottle ginger ale
Instructions:
-
- Place sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring very frequently, to dissolve sugar. Set aside to cool.
- In a large pitcher or other container, combine sugar syrup, orange juice, pineapple juice, cherries, and the cherry juice. Stir until well mixed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- When ready to serve, add ginge rale to the juice mixture to taste. {I mix it at a ratio of about 2/3 juice mixture to 1/3 gingerale. Grandma usually mixes it about ½ juice mixture and ½ ginger ale.}
Notes:
-
- Punch can be served in a punch bowl or in individual servings. If using a punch bowl, stir the juice mixture and ginger ale together in the punch bowl right before serving. For individual servings, fill each glass about 1/2 to 2/3 full with juice mixture and then fill the remainder of the glass with ginger ale.
- I like to make sure each serving gets at least one cherry!
- If the punch is running low at the party, just start adding more ginger ale to make it go further. It’s a very forgiving recipe like that.
