CHRISTMAS PUNCH, NOGS, ASSORTED LIBATIONS, ALCOHOLIC AND NON.....

By special request--CHRISTMAS PUNCH, NOGS, ASSORTED LIBATIONS, ALCOHOLIC AND NON.....CLICK ON THE PHOTOS AND INKS.

First up, from 1971, the very authentic--and quite warming to the soul---Athole Brose.

A neighbor back in the day, of Welsh and Scot extraction, used to pull out his wife's crystal punch bowl every Christmas Eve and invite us all in for a taste.  Of course, the children were served appropriately RED Shirley Temples in those ubiquitous plastic Champagne glasses.

Complete with Maraschino Cherry.....and a Rosemary Sprig (which quite frankly, we tossed!)

It made some of us feel very grown-up and festive.

Next up, from Family Christmas Online(TM), a recipe for Cappuccino Punch.

(A neighbor throws in a cup of Amaretto for the alcohol version,)
