I don't usually post on the weekend but there was one more recipe from the party this past week that I just have to share with you.
Cottontail Punch. It is simple, refreshing and whenever I serve it, I am almost always asked for the recipe. This punch is a bit of a chameleon - you see it isn't always called Cottontail Punch; its name is dependent on the time of year. During the holiday season, I float some fresh cranberries and seasonal citrus fruit and call it Reindeer Punch.
Seriously, this punch is delicious no matter what you call it or when you serve it! I found the recipe many years ago in Southern Living and I honestly can't remember what they called it - I do know it's like an old friend around our house - always welcome!
Cottontail Punch, or whatever you want to call it, is delicious served along with a meal but also makes a wonderful, refreshing beverage for a party served in a large punch bowl. I like to add fresh fruit and fresh mint - it makes a lovely presentation. If you want a little flavor change, try it with raspberry lemonade or limeade, both quite delicious!
Cottontail Punch
6 cups peach-flavored white grape juice
12 ounces frozen lemonade
1-liter bottle club soda or ginger ale
6 ounces frozen lemonade, for lemonade ice cubes
1. For lemonade ice cubes, prepare lemonade according to directions.. Pour into ice cube trays. Freeze 8 hours.
2. Stir together first 3 ingredients in a large container; add lemonade ice cubes
NOTES: Instead of ice cubes, you can make a ring out of the lemonade to float in the punch.

HI Dixie! So good to hear from you! Hope you and your sweet family are doing well! Welches makes a version of this juice both in the ready to use and in the concentrate but I always use the big bottles. If you can't find it, I have also used peach white cranberry juice with excellent results.Hopefully, you can find one of these, many of the stores also make their own generic brand of these juices by are often a bit cheaper.

Hi Sandra! Thanks for stopping by. I have not made this with alcohol but I'm sure that you could.

Sounds perfect! Have you ever made it as an adult beverage?
