FOUR SEASONS PUNCH WITH MANGO ICE
Fruity and refreshing, this drink is sure to impress! Pour 1 liter mango juice into ice cube trays and freeze. In a punch bowl or pitcher, combine 1 (1.36-liter) can four seasons juice and 1 (1.5-liter) bottle Sprite or any lemon-lime soda. Add mango ice before serving. Jazz it up by adding a splash of rum, gin, or vodka. Serves 12 to 15.
CRANBERRY SPARKLER
Bring out the bubbly for this fruity drink! In a pitcher, mix together 1 liter chilled cranberry
juice and 500 ml chilled unsweetened orange juice. Pour into champagne fl utes until 1/3 full. Top with chilled champagne, sparkling wine, or club soda. Serves 8.
GUAVA GINGER PALOMA
Introduce your guests to this refreshing Mexican tequila cocktail. This is usually prepared per glass, but since you’ll be serving a crowd, a pitcher will do. In a pitcher fi lled with ice, combine 2 cups sweetened guava juice, 1 cup grapefruit juice, 1 (330-ml) bottle ginger beer (we used Roots Ginger Brew), 1 (1.5-liter) bottle lemon-lime soda, and 10 ounces tequila (or to taste). Stir until well-combined. Serves 8 to 10.
LEMON TARRAGON FIZZ
Give lemonade a yummy twist this holiday season! In a saucepan over low heat, make tarragon syrup by dissolving 2 cups sugar in 2 cups water. Add 1 cup chopped fresh tarragon leaves. Remove from heat and set aside to infuse for 15 minutes. Let cool completely, then strain into a small carafe. Pour 5 cups fresh lemon juice and 1 (1.5-liter) bottle lemon-lime soda or club soda into a pitcher fi lled with ice. Sweeten with 1/2 cup tarragon syrup. Place extra syrup in a carafe to let guests sweeten their drinks to taste. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh tarragon, if desired. Serves 8 to 10.
