New Years Punch Recipes

Steps:

• In a large punch bowl mix ginger ale and orange juice. Place sliced oranges on top of punch and arrange the cherries on top of the orange slices.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Cut the top and bottom of pineapple. Next, sit the fruit upright and cut down the sides. Flip the pineapple on its side cut in half.
• Cut into ½-inch round slices. Sprinkle pineapple slices with salt, ginger, and brown sugar. Place slices on parchment paper or Silpat (nonstick baking mat) on baking sheet or jelly roll pan. Roast for 25 minutes.
• Transfer pineapple slices to Vitamix or food processor, pulse until liquid is loose and foamy. The fragrance will be bright. Set aside.
• Place water in a large stockpot, over medium-high heat. After coming to a boiling, drop in hibiscus leaves. Cover and let brew for 10 minutes.
• Stir in sugar and turn off heat. Let completely cool.
• Add lime juice, 2 cups of the roasted pineapple juice, rum, and ginger beer. Stir well. Transfer to punch bowl.
• Place scoops of lime sorbet in punch bowl, if desired. The mixture will slightly foam. The sorbet will make the punch a tad sweeter.

Steps:

• Place the orange juice, ginger ale, and champagne in the refrigerator to get them well chilled.
• In a large punch bowl, place the block of sherbet in the center and pour the orange juice over the top. Next, pour the ginger ale over the sherbet. Finally, pour both bottles of champagne over the sherbet. Stir gently to mix the liquids, resulting in a foamy top. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a gallon container, combine pineapple juice, teas, apple juice and lemon juice; mix well. Store in refrigerator. Add the ginger ale just before serving.
