Champagne and eggnog punches are traditional staples at holiday parties and family gatherings. Regardless of the occasion, a simple champagne punch can be put together over a day. The punch must be started the day before the party since some of it has to freeze over night. This version makes 24 4 oz. servings.
Instructions
1. Combine 2 with 1 cup of water.
2. Pour 2 cups of the orange juice mixture in a 3- cup ring mold, metal bowl or bundt pan. Place the container in a freezer for 3 to 4 hours or until the mix is hard. Reserve the leftover orange juice mixture.
3. Arrange the grapes, orange slices and strawberries around the top of the mold. Fill the bowl with the reserved mixture and freeze the mold overnight.
4. Combine the remaining cups of and the pineapple juice in a 6 qt. punch bowl.
5. Just before the party starts, stir in the champagne and place the ice ring mold in the punch bowl with the fruit on top. Garnish the punch with mint.
