Pink Lady Punch origins

I am in the business of story-telling and there is always a story behind every recipe!

This recipe comes from my father-in-law’s girlfriend Paulette. During one of our many visits to Manitoba, she made it once or twice and it was so tasty I had to have the recipe. She wrote it out for me on a little piece of paper and like so many other recipes, I’ve been hanging on to the piece of paper shuffling it from folder to folder for safe keeping. Until now!

Mocktail vs Cocktail

We live in a time where cocktails and cocktail bars are popular, speakeasy’s are making a come back even though liquor is legal and mocktails are also having their shining moment for those who prefer not to drink alcohol.

Pink Lady Punch makes a tasty mocktail served with strawberries or even raspberries to keep it pretty and red. During winter holidays you could serve it with grapefruit, pomegranate seeds or even cranberries. A drizzle of grenadine keeps it looking festive as well. I did this and you can see the difference in the photos. The darker red has the grenadine added.

Don’t have or can’t find grenadine but have extra frozen strawberries or raspberries?! Cook them with a tbsp of sugar in a pot on the stove until softened. Puree and strain. Add to mocktail!

To turn this beverage into a hot mess cocktail, add your favourite spirit: rum, vodka, gin or whiskey.

Excellent beverage for kids

If you are planning a kids birthday party this punch is the perfect kids drink. When you are having a cocktail, wine or beer with dinner, make this punch for the kids and serve it in a champagne flute or fancy cocktail glass to make them feel special.

We love making this punch for the Christmas holidays and serving with these tasty treats!
