Celebrate with Punch!

Technically, the holiday season is over, but we still find ourselves celebrating with our favorite girlfriends.  The holiday season is so busy with family visits, traveling, and work parties, that we usually end up extending the season with our friends.

So whatever you are celebrating and whoever you are with, this former holiday punch that we’ve given a new name is great for all occasions.
