Holiday Punch

Pomegranate syrup gives this party punch its depth and sweetness. You’ll find it in large supermarkets or gourmet specialty stores such as Williams Sonoma.

Alcoholic Holiday Punch:

1 - 26-oz. (750 mL) bottle sparkling white or rosé wine

8 c. ginger ale (see Note)  

1-½ c. cranberry juice

¼ c. pomegranate syrup

Ice cubes

1 lemon, sliced, as garnish

Combine in punch bowl, garnishing with lemon slices. Makes 26 punch-cup size servings.

Note: The scars remain! For a giggle, see my Sept. 21, 2011 post titled Angelina Jolie Invents Ginger Ale.
