CHAMPAGNE PEACH PUNCH This is my favorite punch for "occasions". Served at my daughters wedding and my parents fiftieth.
3-12 oz. cans peach nectar 1-6oz. can frozen orange juice 1/4 cup lemon juice 1/2 cup peach brandy 1/4 cup grenadine syrup 1 Qt. club soda 3 bottles champagne ( doesn't need to be expensive) Mix all ingredients except soda and champagne. Chill. Pour over a block of ice in punch bowl. Add champagne and soda. Garnish with fruit and/or mint sprigs.
This is good for barbeques and patio parties.
