This is pretty typical for my life

healingmirthFound just now, inside a cat carrier that has been in my garage for three years: a sticky note with my mother's recipe for champagne punch. This leads me to believe that the piece of notebook paper that I remember having written the flamingo pie recipe might be in the tool bucket.
2c. sugar dissolved in 2 c. boiling water
1 1/4 c. lemon juice (I would say use real lemons, but honestly, who has the time to squeeze a cup of lemon juice?)
2 c. apricot nectar
6 oz. frozen orange juice concentrate
3 c. apple juice
2 c. pineapple juice
2 qt ginger ale
1 1/2 L champagne
When I was in college, I cooked Thanksgiving dinner for the people who stayed on campus. I'm not sure why either she or I felt that what this nerd dinner needed was champagne punch, but I'm so glad someone did, because this is my favorite thing ever. It's vastly superior to mimosas, but about a bazillion calories, and sickeningly sweet if made with anything less dry in place of the champagne, but I suppose you could ditch the sugar if you wanted.
