Happy Thanksgiving! Champagne Punch

I made this punch for the Thanksgiving meal this year.  I'm sharing the recipe.  I wanted to jazz up the holiday, when it can be pretty hectic.  You know, put a few smiles on a few faces.

Champagne Punch
2 bottles champagne (made with organic grapes), chilled
1 bottle organic white wine, chilled
2 cups organic orange juice, chilled
2 cups organic cranberry juice, chilled
1/4 cup freshly squeezed, organic lemon juice

Mix and serve in a 1 gallon container or punch bowl, serve immediately  (yield-13 1/2 cups).

We survived the Thanksgiving meal.  What a busy day, but we had a good crowd.  In the midst of it.  Several deer were out eating in the fields across the way, and we saw a bald eagle.   It's nice to wake up to a clean house, other than dirty dishes.

Glad you survived and had a nice time with your family. The punch sounds nice but not for just one person like me! LOL! Maybe some day if I ever entertain again which is highly unlikely! LOL! Enjoy Black Friday!

Ha! It sure would be awful to wake up to all the Thanksgiving meal dishes! I'm sure your Champagne Punch was a big hit. We had a small selection of adult beverages, too. Was fun!

Rain, the punch was good. Krobel Brut champagne is made with organic grapes too.
