I have an awesome recipe for Glogg (it's a hot punch that would be awesome for a winter/holiday party). It's at home though, so I'll have to post it tonight.

[partiallysunny]

I've never heard of Glogg. Sounds interesting!


Maybe I should have put in the OP this is for my H's birthday party in December.

[cuddlyevil]

Glogg's kind of a like a mulled wine but with other booze added.

You could also buy some mulling spices and a big bottle of a cheap, but drinkable burgundy and serve mulled wine.

I know nothing about alcohol. If you tell me "cheap drinkable Burgundy" I'm going to be staring
at the shelf for an hour.

This is part of the reason I need help!

[cuddlyevil]

LOL, go to the liquor store, ask for help and tell them you'd like a good quality burgundy and what you're planning to do with it. It's easy. I think the last time I had mulled wine, they used fat bastard (so it may not have been burgundy). You'll be heating it and spicing it, so it doesn't need to be a spectacular wine just good enough to drink.

Broc has a great margarita punch recipe. Yummo!

[partiallysunny]

Thanks cuddly. I was trying avoid talking to people, but I will if I must. Your drink is definitely an option.

Someone tell broc to get in here and help me out!

I just picked up the most recent Real Simple and they have recipes for a bunch of different punches, including a bunch with alcohol. I don't know if they're on the website, but if not, I can post the list of them and any recipes you're interested in.

[sprky79]

1 half gallon of pineapple orange juice (or orange mango, whatevs. Something citrus)

1 2 liter of gingerale

1 bottle champagne (really, quality is not important here, its going to get hidden in punch)

2 cups of citron vodka

1/2 cup triple sec

enough grenadine to turn this pink

then I cut up some fruit.
