Red Devil Punch With Holiday Ice Cubes (Cocktail Punch)
This recipe (which tastes like Kool-Aid) adds an 'optional' twist of placing a treat in the ice cubes. Use Amaretto and peppermint for Christmas, blackberry brandy and candy corn for Halloween, peach schnapps and marachino cherry for Thanksgiving, and frozen blueberries and honeydew cubes for an American celebration. You can reduce the servings (to 8 ounces per glass) to individual drinks and serve them as cocktails for a smaller gathering. :)
