Mock Champagne

Danzy suggested this punch for my cousin's bridal shower in a thread I posted here on Zaar. It sounded delicious, so I decided to give it a try. Boy was I glad I did!!! It was fabulous! I had so many compliments on the punch! I froze about 6 strawberries and floated them in the punch to keep it cold during the party. Thanks Danzy!!! :)

Made this for my mom's 70th bday party. BIG hit! Made ice ring with gingerale that had peaches frozen in it (better for the color scheme). Put a bottle of strawberry flavored water (Walmart brand) in it the next day to jazz it up the leftovers a bit. VERY good too.

Everyone I know loves this punch. I serve it at every social function I'm involved in (at least 4 per year). Each time, I have to tell someone the recipe. It's so easy to mix right in the punch bowl. I make an ice ring with straight white grape juice. I make it with Walmart's brand of white grape juice and ginger ale, and no one has ever complained. This recipe has been a life saver for me.

This was horrible. I honestly do not understand the previous ratings? I served it at a bridal shower without tasting it first - my mistake, I should have known better. It had very low ratings among 13 guests - 12 didn't like it, and one thought it was, "okay." Perhaps the other consumers didn't want to give their honest opinions?? I don't know, but, I do know that I would not serve this at any social gathering - seriously.

This is a wonderful punch. Served at Birthday party for 16yr.DD. All guests thought it was wonderful. Many went home with the recipe. Over heard a # of them saying that it should be served at their home on holidays. I liked it very much it has a nice bite. There was a little left over after dinner & I saved the remainder for myself. Everyone loved the strawberry ring. Thanks Danzy will be making this many time to come.
