2 quarts club soda, chilled
1 quart ginger ale, chilled

Crock Pot Cider

Warm apple cider is just so delicious.  I love it in the fall and for holidays.  It also makes your house smell so delightful.  Here is a perfect way to serve it warm.

1 gallon of apple cider
1/4 t. ground cloves
1/2 t. allspice
6 cinnamon sticks

Pour cider into crock pot.  Add in spices.  Heat at least 1 hour on high before serving.

Strawberry Citrus Punch

1 can (12-oz.) Pink Lemonade concentrate
1 can (6-oz.) Orange Juice concentrate
1 package (10-oz.) frozen strawberries
3 c. water
1 28-oz. Gingerale.

Mix 1st 4 ingredients and chill at least 4 hours. Add Gingerale right before serving.

Holiday Cranberry Lemonade

46oz. can of chilled pineapple juice
32 oz. bottle of cranberry juice, chilled
12oz. container of frozen lemonade, thawed
3 c. vodka
1 2-liter Gingerale, chilled.

Mix all and serve immediately. Float fresh cranberries on top for garnish.

Summer Sangria

Well not exactly. Kinda a cross b/t punch, mimosas and sangria. I helped host bunco this month and made this tasty drink for us to enjoy.

1 bottle of Champagne, chilled
2 c. of gingerale, chilled
1 c. orange juice
1/3 c. fresh lime juice
1/3 c. fresh lemon juice
Sliced oranges, lemons, limes

Mix all.

This was the single batch. I actually thought when I made a double batch for bunco it was better. I used a liter of gingerale and OJ from concentrate. If your fruits are really sour you could always throw in a little sugar if needed.
