Get a Powerful Punch from a Punch!

Here is a favourite recipe that I just came across (on the kitchen floor, of all places.) The back of the envelope it is written on has a note to remind me to send $10 to school for Steve's recorder book, and since Steve just turned 25 and hasn't either been to school or played recorder in an awfully long time, I can't believe this note has been on the floor for that long. Especially since we've moved at least twice since then.

However - if you make this one, I won't have to tell you to enjoy, that will come naturally, and for all you mainlanders, you will find one more reason why Newfies are a happy-natured breed.

PUNCH

• 3 litres 7-Up
• 2 litres Collins Mix, which I find impossible to buy here in BC, very disappointed about that, so try to find a substitute in the pop aisle - maybe grapefruit pop?
• large cranberry cocktail (full of antioxidants and so goooood for you)
• about 1/2 cup of grenadine
• 26 oz gin
• flask of vodka
• maraschino cherries and orange slices to make it look pretty - although after a few glasses you won't care if it looks pretty or not

Just pour into your punch bowl (after you've taken it from the cupboard over the stove and washed all the dustballs and dead insects out of it) and enjoy.
