It’s Christmas…..so I would like a red colouring in my punch….can I substitute cranberry juice for orange juice for the Traders Punch recipe.

Leigh,

I love eggnog too but like you, I am put off a bit by the calories. I buy one bottle and we drink it while watching A Christmas Story. Wish I could have it all season long.

Maria,

Love your idea of light corn syrup. When I saw the calorie/carb count on the grenadine syrup I almost passed out.

I like the idea of the low calorie punch no one knows is diet….lol….
I love “Trader’s Punch” but I don’t use that much grenadine syrup in mine – about half as much because I use light corn syrup for the difference. I like the juices and the grenadine and corn syrup sort of blend together in the refrigerator for a little bit – makes for a more smooth drink. I love the sherbert punch and yeah…it’s simple.

Your recipes sound good! I haven’t entertained at home for a while, so I haven’t had the opportunity to serve drinks. For myself I love SOME of the International coffees by GF. One of my favorites started out as Chocolate Mint. I couldn’t find it where I live so my SIL used to mail it to me. Then I found I could order it on-line and did that for a couple of years,until it disappeared. It was reincarnated as Peppermint Mocha with foam. Then I found it at Target. But this year I haven’t seen it.

And I know some people don’t like eggnog, but I love it. But it is so high in calories.

This time of year there are a lot of specialty hot chocolates which are yummy too.
