Creole Champagne Punch
Preparation:
Chill all ingredients (except sugar) for several hours. Into a large punch bowl, pour lemon juice and sugar. Mix well. Then add remaining ingredients, saving the champagne until last. I also add an ice ring: Arrange maraschino cherries (1 small bottle reserving the juice), fresh strawberries, if in season, remaining 1/2 can of pineapple chunks and fresh mint attractively in ring mold. Add juices from cherries and pineapple and enough water to fill ring. Freeze overnight.
Choco-Banana Shake
Preparation:
Blend all except ice cubes on high until blended. Add ice cubes one at a time.
Russian Tea
Preparation:
Measure 1 teaspoon. Add 1 cup boiling water. Let stand for 1 minute. Strain. Add sweetener. Low calorie. Makes 12 cups.
Rhubarb Liqueur
Preparation:
Wash and trim rhubarb. Slice about 1/4 inch thick by hand or in food processor. Place rhubarb in an aging container (preferably glass with a tight-fitting lid). Add sugar and stir. Pour vodka over mixture and stir again. Cap or cover and let sit at room temperature for 2 to 4 weeks. The color will change to a rosy glow (so will your cheeks after sipping the final product!) Stir occasionally. After initial aging, strain liqueur through metal colander placed over a large bowl. Press juice out of rhubarb with a spoon. (Save fruit and use in a cake or over ice cream.) Strain again through cloth until liquid is clear. Re-bottle as desired, cap and age at least one additional month before serving.
Sorrell Liqueur
Preparation:
Wash and clean sorrel removing seeds. Place ingredients in saucepan and bring to a boil for about 1/2 hour. Add 3 to 4 oz. rum. Serve with crushed ice
