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
