Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
Holiday Ice Ring (opt., recipe follows) OR
4 cups Ice cubes
2 12-oz cans frozen pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
2 quarts Cold water
12 ounces (1 1/2 C ) whiskey

Directions

1. Four to 6 hours or up to a month before serving, prepare Holiday Ice Ring, if desired.

2. In 4-quart container or large bowl with tight-fitting lid, combine lemonade concentrate, water, and whiskey; shake until foamy on top.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.

3. Just before serving, pour whiskey mixture into punch bowl. Add ice ring, if desired, or ice cubes. Ice ring will remain frozen for several flours.

Holiday Ice Ring: Cut 2 limes cross-wise into 8 slices each. Discard 4 end slices; cut remaining 12 slices in half. In bottom of 8-inch Turks-head mold, stand 3 lime-slice halves, skin side down, in every other groove. Arrange 16 maraschino cherries with stems, stem side up, 2 in each remaining groove. Pour ½ inch distilled water into mold. Freeze 1 hour or until water is frozen. Pour 1 inch more distilled water into mold; freeze 1 hour or until water is frozen.

Add another 1 1½ inches distilled water to mold; freeze several hours until ice ring is solid. To remove ice ring from mold, let stand at room temperature 10 to 15 minutes; gently turn ice ring out onto flat surface and place in bowl of punch or on aluminum-foil-lined, freezer-safe tray and refreeze until ready to use.
