Last night I saw the Nutcracker. It got me thinking about Holiday parties and merriment. A wonderful tradition is to host a party to celebrate the season with your friends and family. Here are some festive ideas for the hostess. I have also included the recipe for Martha’s “BEST” Christmas punch.
Martha’s Best Christmas Punch
- 2 cups chilled pomegranate juice
- 1 cup chilled cranberry juice
- 8 ounces (1 cup) vodka
- 8 ounces (1 cup) Cointreau or other orange-flavored liqueur
- 1 cup chilled club soda
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from 6 lemons)
- 1/2 cup Simple Syrup
-
Combine pomegranate and cranberry juice, vodka,
Cointreau, club soda, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a
punch bowl. Fill glasses with cranberries frozen in ice cubes,
and serve. Garnish with lemon slices if desired.
