Ya might want a nice little cocktail to drink with that. The family was over on Saturday night and my sister-in-law brought a carton of Minute made Berry Punch juice which she mixed with Rum. Yummy! I am thinking for an adult type of punch make a big batch of it and add some juice ice cubes with fruit frozen in them. Yeah, I might have to plan a party just so I can make some of that, lol.
Well, have a great day everyone.
Hugs & love,
