This is a delicious punch...great for the holidays or birthdays. The best part is the use of frozen orange slices as ice cubes (I've used this idea for other drink recipes). I think it came from BHG or LHJ. Ingredients:
1 (3 inch) cinnamon sticks, broken in half |
6 whole cloves |
1 orange |
12 ounces orange juice concentrate |
6 ounces grapefruit juice concentrate |
1 pint lemon sherbet |
1 liter lemon-lime flavored soda, chilled |
mint sprig (to garnish) |
Directions:
1. In a 1-quart saucepan over high heat, heat cinnamon stick, cloves, and 2 cups water to boiling.
2. Reduce heat to low and cover and simmer 20 minutes.
3. Cool slightly.
4. Cut orange into 1/4 inch thick slices.
5. Place orange slices on cookie sheet and freeze until firm.
6. Remove fruit-juice concentrates and sherbet from freezer and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes to soften.
7. Strain spice liquid into punch bowl and discard spices.
8. Stir in 4 cups of ice water.
9. With wire whisk, stir in softened fruit juice concentrates and sherbet until smooth.
10. Stir in lemon-lime soft drink.
11. Float frozen orange slices in punch.
12. Garnish with mint sprig.
