Red Grape Waltz

Ingredients

  • 2 parts Welch’s Sparkling Red Grape Juice
  • 1 part Pineapple Juice*
  • 1/2 part Ginger Jig Mix**
  • Sliced lime wheels and pineapple leaf to garnish

Preparation

  1. Combine all ingredients into a large punch bowl along with plenty of ice as you step right, then step left.
  2. Add plenty of lime wheels and stir well until thoroughly chilled, swaying your hips from side to side.
  3. Ladle out into punch glasses, making sure to get some lime wheels inside.
  4. Raise one arm up, then down, and do the same with the next arm, as you add a pineapple leaf to the portioned out drink.

(*For a fun alternative, substitute Welch’s Strawberry Breeze Refrigerated Cocktail for the Pineapple juice, and add sliced strawberries to garnish.)

(**Ginger Jig Mix: in a saucepan, combine 3 parts water, 1 part white sugar, and 1 part peeled and chopped ginger.  Heat until the sugar is completely dissolved, then simmer on low for 5 minutes.  Turn off heat, strain the ginger pieces out, and chill in refrigerator until cooled.  (Feel free to tap or bang on empty pots and pans in rhythm as you prepare this, making sure to grab your partner and twirl.  Of course, keep an eye out on the stovetop while you do this…)
