I think I found my punch recipe, (you didn't really think we were drinking tea, did ya):

equal parts vanilla vodka and sour apple schnapps
4 parts lemon lime soda
garnish with apple slices; punch a hole in the apple and insert a gummy worm.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I'm trying out this recipe as we speak *hic*. You can taste the sour apple flavor right away but it tastes like a weak jolly rancher, then the vanilla flavor kicks in and it's smooth but way too sweet. I thought this would be a good recipe because it would satisfy both sweet and sour drink preferences. Maybe gingerale would be better than sprite or maybe just regular vodka, but the vanilla does add flavor. Does anyone have a good sour apple punch recipe?

Not a sour apple recipe, but I used this for the Witches Wingding AND the Halloween party last year, and it was a huge hit. And it is a beautiful green color.

Witches Brew Punch

2 2 liter bottles Margarita mix
3 cups Tequila
3/4 Cup Triple Sec
1/2 Cup fresh lime juice
1/4 Cup Blue Curacao
1 2 liter bottle lemon/lime soda, chilled

combine the margarita mix, tequila, triple sec, lime and Blue Curacao, cover and freeze until slushy (4 hours) put in punch bowl and mix in soda, serve immediately

That's the recipe....now for the reality tips I figured out the hard way...

They are crazy if they think anything with that much alcohol in it is going to freeze in 4 hours. :rolleyes: We left ours 12 hours and it had a lovely slushy consistency, so make this the night before. (Good thing we decided to do a trial run!) I used large flat plastic food storage containers (they are actually my cupcake containers) in the freezer. Worked great. I used bottled lime juice, don't know if fresh would make a big difference, haven't tried it. And a good cheap Tequila recommended by the liquour store guy is Two Fingers Silver. Smooth and tasty, not expensive.

The girls LOVED this punch!! Even those who were not tequila drinkers thought it was light, refreshing and went down VERY easy. ;)

I know that recipe! That's your "Best Punch Ever" recipe. As a margarita drinker, myself, that sounds delicious. These ladies are very light drinkers, I don't know about giving them tequila, lol. Wouldn't want them falling off their broomsticks on the way home. Besides, I kind of have this apple thing going on with the punch table and I really wanted to use the gummy worm apple slices. :rolleyes:

But you've given me an idea. I could try the margarita mix with the blue curacao (to get that lovely green color), regular vodka, Sprite, and the sour apple pucker. The curacao, soda and sour apple should give it sweetness and the margarita mix the tartness. Back to the lab, thanks Hooch!

Since the Pottery Barn cauldron is no longer available *sniff* wouldn't this make a fabulous punch bowl for a witches party?

It's hard to tell from the picture but it's carnival glass and has that purple iridescent all swirled through it. Would only set me back around a hundred bucks and my husband would kill me, but man, it would be sweet.

Are they made of carnival glass? Can you see the purple in your vases, Miss Mandy, or only under certain light conditions? It's hard to tell just by looking at online pictures.

Oh, I definitely plan on trying out that margarita punch. :D We live in Florida and frequently have pool parties. Some of my friends may be light drinkers but the family can pack away some alcohol. That punch may be the only reason to invite the family over. lol

I don't think it's carnival glass. I've never noticed purple it in. I'll have to hold up to sunlight to check lol. But it's pretty much that same exact color green.

Yeah, the vases I have are not the same thing. Same color green, but darker than the items in those pix. I still love my vases lol. I love that color. Reminds me of the 60's/70's. My #1 love is milk glass though.

No way! :eek: Great minds and all... I also collect milk glass. My kitchen window has a display of milk glass bud vases with green flowers in them right now. They are mostly the cheap florist vases but I have some nice Fenton candlestick holders and some bowls too. I like the hobnail pieces the best.

Oh yes, the hobnail pieces are my favorite. I don't have much yet, simply because I'm picky with what I buy. I have 3 pieces I got from grandma when she passed away (of course those are my faves) and then just a couple of things I've picked up at flea markets.

Been looking into bras today, need the bullet style for the conical look I imagine my witch would wear :) Im also drawing my plans up for everything. :)

You all inspired me to use my carnival glass this year indoors. I initially had plans for my vampire area but I think I can find a nice place for it indoors. Too bad my depression glass is the pink kind, not very spooky, lol.

This is called the kings crown or button pattern blue version. The pictures came out too dark, it pretty iridescent in person.

You gots to be kidding me! :eek: I have that exact same candy dish in..........milk glass! I'll try to borrow a camera to take a pic because I know I sound delusional, but I do have that same bowl, I do, I really, really do. Usually, I put seasonal M&M's in it. Oooh, I bet black M&M's would look great in your dish, Kitty. You can see the iridescent colors in the photographs, so pretty!
