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!

Let the lime sherbet soften. Add ginger ale until it's the consistency that you wish. Serve in punch cups. Delicious--ane easy!

We have had this punch every Christmas since I was in high school. It's as much a tradition as baked ham or sand tarts!

In a 16-oz glass, combine:

6 oz grapefruit juice
1 Tablespoon of sugar
6 oz seltzer water or other type
of sparkling water
Ice cubes

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

You can also do this with orange juice.

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.

MED/TN (11:41:45) : PERKY CRANBERRY PUNCH

1 bottle cranberry juice
1/2 can unsweetened pineapple juice
1 cup water
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 tablespoons whole allspice
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!

water. Serve over ice.
