i have a large box
overflowing
with collected recipes
ripped pages
yellowed cards
scribbled notes
occasionally
i grab a few recipes
to try
this weekend
i'm going for the drink
not exactly sure where i got this recipe
boy am i glad i did
upon reading the recipe
i laughed out loud
it reads
"Serves 4 lusty drinkers, or 8 bon vivants or 16 party drinkers"
teetotalers need not apply!
German Wine Punch
At 8 am, pour one bottle of average German wine and pour in a pitcher over 2 pints of strawberries. Refrigerate.
3 hours prior to serving, place 2 bottles of wine and 1 bottle of champagne (or sparkling wine) in the freezer. Immediately prior to serving, add the frozen wine to the strawberry wine mixture in a punch bowl. serve very cold--you may use dry ice for effect
