25 Days of Christmas Cocktails - Southern Comfort Punch

This upcoming weekend is usually a big party weekend for most of us, and if you’re having  several folks over, a punch is a easy way to serve a crowd.  This is a super simple recipe you can pull together without a lot of measuring.  I left the instructions as is, because they made me giggle.  From Glass Half Full.

• Large Container Frozen Orange Juice
• Large Container Frozen Minute Made Limeade
• Cranberry Juice Cocktail to taste
• Southern Comfort to Taste
• 1-2 Cans of 7-Up 

1. Get a  punch bowl.
2. Add one container of frozen orange juice (any brand will do). It can still be slightly frozen because I think that makes the punch colder and it will thaw eventually.
3. Add one container of Minute Maid Limeade. I always use Minute Maid Limeade because it just tastes better.
4. Add some Cranberry Juice Cocktail--classic Ocean Spray works best. Don't use real cranberry juice. This is no time to try to be healthy. I like the punch to have a pinkish orange color, so I add enough cranberry juice to achieve that look.
5. Add Southern Comfort. Use your judgement here. No matter how much you add, it will pretty much taste the same. So you decide how drunk you want people to end up and how much of your precious alcohol you want to use. Southern Comfort is relatively cheap and I like people to have a good time, so I add a lot.
6. Add a bunch of ice or an ice ring. You've made this pretty strong and the juices are pretty sweet, so it can handle a lot of melting ice without losing any of the flavor.
7. Add a can or two of 7-Up before serving. The fizz makes it good, that's why I add it as close to guest arrival time as possible.
