Cooking Lesson #600: Wicked Wabbit Easter Brunch Punch

…from the Perspectives’ Happy Hour Bar

How you doin”? If you are helping to get ready for an after Easter service brunch, my Wicked Wabbit recipe is so easy and refreshing. Sooo, Ready, Set, Get the punch bowl!
 
Almost everyone wants to know what’s in this benign tasting yet wicked punch, and where they can get the recipe! Well, here it is. I originally got it from a bartender who dubbed it as the “3-2-1-1” punch, as this is the ratio of ingredients.
 
Here are the not so secret 3-2-1-1 ingredients that are easy to get and easy to transport to the party location.
 
You can use Simply Raspberry Lemonade as the base flavor. Simply Lemonade has the perfect flavor for this recipe and is the best option.
 
The best part is, set aside a shelf in the frig where you can have all the ingredients for brunch punch cooling until after church—then just pour them all together, in the punch bowl over some large chunks of ice.
 
Look at the ChefSecret for a kid’s non-alcohol version below.
 
Prep time:  Allow 10 minutes--that’s all folks
Yield: 30 4-ounce servings
 
Ingredients 
1 59-ounce bottle raspberry lemonade, Simply brand
34 ounces ginger ale
1 750 ml bottle Bombay Sapphire Gin
24 ounces club soda
Garnish with raspberries, mint leaves and lemon slices
 
Directions

1. Chill all the ingredients prior to serving.
2. Mix all ingredients together in a large punch bowl. You can adjust the beverage amounts to suit your tastes. (Essentially, it's 3 parts raspberry lemonade, 2 parts ginger ale, and one part club soda.
3. Garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves.
4. You may also float an ice ring to keep it chilled during the party.

ChefSecret:  Make it a bit less wicked for young people by leaving out the gin.  It’s still a great punch without the wicked buzz.
