At the party, I leaned over to my friend, Juan, and slur “we should be doing shots of this stuff!”
I was, of course, referring to the punch. Juan and I were in the midst of a very well supplied hot tub party. one of the drink items was my punch, which only gave the slightest hint of alcohol, yet by my calculations was somewhere around 25 to 30 % alcohol by volume. To give a little perspective, the beer was 4.5 to 5.9% alcohol, and the Apple Pucker was a mere 15%.
My Punch is super simple to make, and tastes pretty good.
Ingredients:
- lime Jello [1 small pkg]
- (frozen) fruit juice concentrate [8 oz]
- fruit flavored sherbet [a few scoops]
- grapefruit juice (other citrus flavors may work, orange juice most likely wont) [64 oz]
- canned pineapple [16 oz]
- fresh strawberries [10 oz pkg]
- a few bananas [2 or 3]
- Lime Juice [8 oz]
- 99 Bananas [750 ml bottle]
Directions:
In a large punch bowl, mix it all together. Add the sherbert to sweeten the punch, add lime juice to mask the alcohol after taste. The lime Jello will give the punch a nice green color, as well as add to the flavor. Other fruit items can be added (such as apples or mandarin oranges) , or other high proof alcohols can be used. Be sure to use a fruity Schnapps type liqueur, or if you can find it, Everclear.
