Sparkling Red Cherry Punch
Here’s a festive and simple holiday punch recipe, courtesy of the Cherry Marketing Institute. For a festive garnish, add a pitted cherry and a slice of orange on a cocktail pick to each glass.
Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups tart cherry juice (mix 1.5 ounces of King Orchards Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate with 10.5 ounces water)
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup orange liqueur such as grand marnier, curacao or cointreau
1 bottle (750 ml) champagne or sparkling wine
Directions:
In a large pitcher, combine cherry juice, orange juice and liqueur. Chill at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours. Just before serving stir cherry mixture. Tilt pitcher; slowly pour in champagne. Stir gently. Serve in champagne flutes or wine glasses. Makes 8 servings.
