There is a family in our town who make and sell wooden, hand painted Christmas ornaments. They have an open house several weeks and serve this wonderful warm drink to all guests.

48 oz. bottle cranberry juice
5 cups water
23 oz. pineapple juice (half of the 46 oz. can)
3/4 cup sugar
1 rounded tablespoon Lipton Instant Ice Tea Mix with Lemon
Bag of spices: 1 teaspon ground cinnamon and 1/2 teaspon ground cloves
Food coloring if desired. Lemon in ice tea mix will affect red color of cranberry juice.

Heat in large pan or coffeemaker!

I have actually posted this on the BakeSpace web site but it is so good I thought I would share it on here too.

1/2 gallon apple juice
1/2 gallon apple cider
5-6 cinnamon sticks
1 cup sugar
bottle of Everclear (as much as you like)

In a large pot, bring apple cider and cinnamon sticks to a boil. In second pot, bring apple juice and sugar to a boil. After cinnamon sticks loose their taste, stir in juice mix to the cider mix and simmer for 10 mins. Cool completely. Add Everclear, to your liking. Serve either warm or cold.

This drink was served to my husband and I when we went to a bar together when we were dating. It was served to us in shot glasses cold. I prefer to drink this warmed up slightly on a cold winter day.

Peppermint Eggnog Punch

Yields: 16 servings

"This punch is so delicious, I sometimes make a batch without the rum because the kids enjoy it as much as the adults!"

INGREDIENTS:
1 quart peppermint ice cream
1 quart eggnog
4 (12 fluid ounce) cans or
bottles ginger ale, chilled 1 cup rum
24 small peppermint candy
canes for garnish

DIRECTIONS:
1. Set aside 2 or 3 round scoops of ice cream in the freezer for garnish. Stir remaining ice cream until softened. Gradually stir in eggnog and rum. Transfer to a punch bowl, and stir in ginger ale. Hang candy canes around the edge of the punchbowl. Float reserved ice cream scoops on top, and serve immediately.

"Hands down, the BEST egg nog you'll ever taste. My husband thought up the concoction and I cannot stop drinking it. That is probably because you cannot taste the alcohol in it at all!"

Your favorite brand of egg nog
Bailey's Irish Cream *Caramel* Flavored Liquor

In a small glass, pour eggnog 3/4 of the way up. Add Bailey's Caramel flavored Irish Cream and stir. Enjoy!

You can also thin this out with milk if eggnog is too thick for you.
