Drinks: Holiday Mock Champagne

Source of Recipe

posted to recipecircus by cilla


Recipe Introduction

"This is a time when many of us host or attend holiday parties, and serving non-alcoholic punch or drinks is polite and thoughtful for non-drinkers, and definitely a must for children. This punch is delicious, refreshing, and festive."

List of Ingredients

1 gallon apple juice, chilled to almost freezing
1 gallon Ginger Ale, chilled to almost freezing
1 quart fresh strawberries (if unavailable, use dry frozen
strawberries without juice or sugar)


Recipe

When apple juice is thoroughly chilled and Ginger Ale is almost freezing (slushy consistency), pour apple juice into a large punch bowl, and then, very carefully and slowly, pour the Ginger Ale into the bowl against the side of the bowl - this preserves the carbonation of the Ale. Slowly add chilled strawberries, one at a time. Float mint leaves on top, if desired. Serve in champagne flutes with a candy cane hanging over the lip of the glass.
