4th of July, 2011.

I've been MIA for quite some time, but this mini blog lives on still, and I'm back just in time for Independence Day.
Republican presidential candidates hit the campaign trail and the rest of the smart people like me and you rather hit the beaches and all the BBQ parties, bloc parties and all the backyard picnics, with lots of burgers, hot dogs and beers and all the good times with family and friends and it's good to share a tall glass of fruit punch on a hot summer day too!
Here it is a very easy and "sparklinglicious" fruit punch!

3(11.5 oz) cans of peach nectar
1(6 oz) can of frozen orange juice concentrated
1/4 cup of lemon juice
1/2 peach schnapps or (peach brandy) your choice.
1/4 cup of grenadine syrup
1(32 fluid ouce) bottle of carbonated water
3(750 ml) bottles of champagne - brand of your choice, but does'nt have to be expensive ones.

Chill all ingredients in a large punch bowl, mixing peach nectar, concentratde orange juice, lemon juice, peach schnapps and grenadine.
Mix well for three minutes and pour the carbonated water and champagne.
Cheers everyone and have lots of fun!
Happy 4th of July..., happy suumer time!
