Dawn-NYS (10:52:27) : Flavored coffees
This is my quick and easy version of cappacino – contains some alcohol, though, I am not sure that the drink is hot enough to evaporate it. Each drink contains:
4 heaping teaspoons of instant cocoa mix, added to
1 8-oz brewed cup of coffee (or 1 scant teaspoon of instant coffee)
To this basic “recipe” add the following ingredients for these flavors:
Cinnamon – 1 T molasses, 1/4 t ground cinnamon
Almond – 1/4 t almond flavoring
Raspberry – 1 T frozen raspberry concentrate (such as Welch’s)
Buttered Rum – 1/4 t butter flavoring, dash rum flavoring
Top with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish as desired (cinnamon, orange zest, etc.). Enjoy!

It's best to mix the sugar & juice first, since the sugar makes the sparkling water fizz. Add the sparkling water gently.

MED/TN (12:08:35) : GOLDEN FRUIT PUNCH--as served for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary this year. Four gals of punch plus five gals of gingerale were gone in 2 hrs!
1 (12 oz) can orange juice concentrate
1 (12 oz) can lemonade concentrate
1 (46 oz) can unsweetened pineapple juice
1 quart apricot nectar
2 cups unsweetened grapefruite juice (optional)
2/3 cups sugar
1 (2 ltr.or 67.6oz) bottl gingerale or lemon/lime soda
Orange and lemon slices for garnish
Combine fruit juices and sugar in large container. (And I do mean LARGE container) Stir until sugar dissolves. Chill. To serve place in punch bowl and add gingerale/soda and ice ring, which has been made from the punch mixture. YIELD: 2-gal of base punch
*Note--I find it easier to mix up each fruit concentrate separately in a pitcher and pour half of each mixture into two gallon milk containers. This makes mixing, handling, and pouring much easier. Also sugar mixture may be mixed separately using a little of the water to make a simple syrup first.
MED/TN (11:46:37) : This recipe should read one 32-oz. bottle of cranberry juice and 1/2 of a 46-oz. can of pineapple juice.

1 tablespoon whole cloves
3 (3-inch) sticks cinnamon
Pour first 3 ingredients into a large percolator. Place brown sugar and remaining ingredients in percolator basket. Perk through complete cycle of electric percolator. Yield: 1/2 gal.
*This is easily doubled if you have large enough percolator. It's the perfect substitute for coffee at holiday get-togethers. A crowd pleaser!
