Easy Punch Recipe

2 cups cold water
1 can (6 ounces) frozen tangerine or orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 can (6 ounces) frozen grapefruit juice concentrate, thawed
1 bottle (1 litre or 1 quart) sparkling water, chilled
1/2 small bottle of maraschino cherries

Mix all the ingredients in a half gallon glass pitcher or punch bowl.

Serve over ice. Make sure each serving has a maraschino cherry in it.

Garnish with fresh mint if desired.

Makes about 8 servings with lots of ice.

Here's how to make an easy ice ring:

You can make an easy ice ring using a ring mold or bundt pan that fits inside your punch bowl. Arrange sliced fruit or berries and mint leaves for color in the ring mold. Then add water to fill the mold 3/4 full. Freeze it until solid, unmold and place in the punch. You can use the same method using muffin cups to make floating ice disks, which take less time to freeze.

Entertain your friends and loved ones in style with an 18-piece punch bowl set. The beverage serving set includes bowl with wide, tapered design perfect for serving fruit punches, juices or holiday cheer Anchor Hocking 18-piece Punch Bowl Set

Tips and Variations:

• If you want an alcohol punch, "spike" it with 1/3 cup vodka, rum or gin or gin.

• Float slices of orange and lemon on the punch for color and extra flavor.

• This recipe multiplies easily to serve as many as you need.

• Instead of the maraschino cherries or citrus slices, add whole or sliced strawberries or raspberries to the punch. They'll add lots of color and flavor.

• Use pink grapefruit juice and add a bit of grenadine syrup for added pink color.
