All recipes are welcome. Friend is having a party. Taste is good but strength is better 😉 PS Sorry if this is meant to be in Cafe Society. ---

**Pretty recipe:** 9 c water (7 cold, 2 hot) 2 c sugar 12 oz frozen orange juice 12 oz frozen lemonade 2 c vodka (yeah, right. Try a bottle) Dissolve sugar in the hot water. Mix everything together, put in a container, and store in the freezer. Stir now and again til ready to serve. * * * **Better recipe:** 1 large, clean plastic container (trash cans work well) A bunch of sliced, diced, and otherwise-mangled fruit (melons work well. As do cherries, assorted berries, and citrus fruits). A bunch of sugar-free KoolAid (Hm. You’re in Eire. Y’all have frozen OJ, lemonade, and KoolAid there?) 1 bottle (per person) liquor, assorted types (gin, tokillya, schnapps not recommended. Vodkas, whiskeys, brandies, red wines highly recommended). Ice Airline barf bags Blend together the first four ingredients. Pour into a tall glass over ingredient 5. Have ingredient 6 handy. This recipe tastes REALLY GOOD but…um…it catches up to you. ---

Is this my party to which you refer? Anyway, 2 litres Orange juice, 1 litre apple juice, 1 litre cranberry juice, 1 bottle vodka, 2 bottles white wine, chopped fruit and ice. ---

Beer, Absinthe, Vodka, Orange Juice, chopped oranges and apples, and ice. Evil, but oh so goooood! 😉 I found some [punch recipes](http://cocktails.about.com/library/weekly/aa122399a.htm) on this site. Probably safer then mine. 😃 ---

One of Sour, two of Sweet; three of Strong, and four of Weak. That’s how the little punchmaking ditty goes, down in the Caribbean, anyhow. ---

My wife and I just came back from the Caribbean (Jamaica? No, she went of her own accord, etc.), and there we imbibed **Ti Punch** in Guadeloupe, and **Rum Punch** in Dominica. I have to say, the ditty doesn’t ring too true. Ti Punch was a glass of white rum that had been shown a photograph of some lime, while Rum Punch appeared to be a glass of brown rum that had dabbed some _eau de fruit_ behind its ears. In other words: one of strong, one of strong, one of strong and a memory weak. 😃
