We like to party, and when there’s no reason to drink, I make one up. Right now, I’m plotting a “Happy to be a Southerner” party to celebrate the SEC win over Ohio State on Monday night. Here’s a recipe I found on Martha Stewart’s ridiculously thorough website:
Southern Comfort Punch
Serves 12 to 20
6 lemons
4 navel oranges
2 six-ounce cans frozen lemonade concentrate
1 six-ounce can frozen orange juice concentrate
2 liters lemon-lime soda
1 liter Southern Comfort
1. Line two baking sheets with plastic wrap, and set aside. Slice lemons into rounds as thin as possible. Arrange lemon slices in layers on one prepared baking sheet. Repeat with oranges; layer on second baking sheet. Place in the freezer for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, until fruit slices are frozen.
2. Just before serving, open the cans of frozen lemonade and orange juice, and place the frozen concentrates, whole, in a large punch bowl. Add the soda, Southern Comfort, and several handfuls of ice. Remove frozen fruit slices from freezer, and arrange over the top of punch. Serve immediately
