Red Wine Punch...

 

Have you figured out that I love to mix drinks yet? I fancy myself a mixologist in my own little world. I am not sure everyone else especially my friends in the drinks business would agree but I specialize in delusions of grandeur and so I choose to bask in my title of Queen of the mixologists.

 

This red wine punch came to life in an attempt to do away with seeming endless bottles of wine in my pantry. I am doing all that I can to use up all the bottles but we keep getting more as gifts and I do not seem to be making much progress.

 

On the plus side, this punch recipe uses a full bottle of wine so you will not have any wasted wine. You will need a pretty large pitcher or jug for this recipe as well as:

 

 

 

 

 

• 3 cups orange juice
• 3 cups pineapple juice
• 1 bottle good quality red wine
• Orange slices
• Lime slices

Directions:

• Combine all the ingredients and stir to combine. Chill and serve

Enjoy!!!

Rum Punch

Soccer season is back. Or football as we call it here in Nigeria.

 

We are a football loving house - even though we support different teams and it is not uncommon to have a few people come over to watch games. Sometimes they get lucky and I can throw something together, at other times, I just make sure there are interesting drinks to be had.

 

Enter this easy and yummy but lethal rum punch. The guys and girls love it. Plus, you can make a pitcher and stick it in the fridge earlier in the day and you get to adjust how much rum you want in it.

 

To make a pitcher full of this rum punch, you will need:

• 1 1/2 cups orange juice
• 3 cups pineapple juice
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1/2 cup dark rum





 

 

 

 

Pour all the ingredients into a pitcher/jug and stir well. Stick in the fridge till ready to serve

 

 

 

That's all there is to it. 

This punch is the perfect accompaniment to salty nibbles like pretzels, mixed nuts and potato crisps.

Enjoy!!!!!
