Hungry Pirates & Princesses?
Bejeweled Party Punch
Little pirates will love the tasty jewels in this drink. The night before, fill ice trays with red fruit punch. Use frozen lemonade for crystals. To add atmosphere why not introduce into your punch bowl a mutineer's floating hand? Make the hand by filling a CLEANED latex glove with water or juice. Seal with a rubber band and freeze. (Be aware some people are allergic to latex.)
Serve the red ruby ice and lemonade crystals in clear plastic cups with lemonade. Additional jewels can be made with different colors of food coloring.
