My friend whose baby girl died of SIDS last year is expecting a new baby. She's actually due in just over three weeks.
Last night, our Bunco group hosted a shower for her. It was so much fun. It was a surprise and so cool to see the look on her face when she realized what was going on.
I was one of the co-hosts and was tasked with doing something with champagne. So, below is a recipe I found that turned out to be very tasty. I'll share it. I'm not generally a fan of super-sweet punches, but this one is a little different.
1 can Cherry-Pomegranate juice concentrate (original recipe calls for cranberry juice concentrate, but I substituted this)
1 can Pink Lemonade
1 can Limeade
2 bottles Champagne
1 bottle white wine (I used a Riesling)
1 liter club soda
1 lemon sliced
1 lime sliced
Blend all in a punch bowl and add fruit slices. You can also add frozen strawberries or raspberries.
I made a puree of fresh strawberries and fresh mango which I then froze in some butter molds shaped like dogwood blossoms and floated them on top of the punch. It was a very pretty and refreshing punch.

Oh, YUM.
I would love this combination WITHOUT the alcohol! I am a total fan of all things pomegranate!
Throw in some random spices and heat it up, and you could have an Americanized version of Glogg!
