“PRETTY IN PINK” SPARKLING PUNCH

Normally I don’t like to add ice to punch because it can dilute the flavors, but with the lemonade and orange concentrates, this drink can use a little watering down. All of my girlfriends love this punch; it must be the champagne!

2 (12-ounce) cans lemonade concentrate, thawed

1 (12-ounce) can orange juice concentrate, thawed

1 (32-ounce) bottle cranberry juice cocktail

2 (750 ml) bottles dry champagne

2 oranges, sliced into ¼-inch-thick rounds, unpeeled

8 cups ice

Stir the lemonade concentrate, orange juice concentrate, and cranberry juice together in a large pitcher or drink dispenser. Just before serving add the champagne, orange slices, and ice.

MAKES 18 TO 20 SERVINGS.
